The company that makes the amd processor did not actually start out by making these processors in the first place. In fact, they made other computer components for many years before they designed the first processor. They had a deal with Intel which didn’t go very well and was cancelled before a single processor from AMD hit the market. The company wasn’t about to lose when they lost the contract and they knew that they were on to a good thing. They came out with their own CPU and soon sold a million units. The rest, as they say, is history.
