Advanced Micro Devices ενσωματώθηκε επίσημα την 1η Μαΐου, το 1969, από τον Jerry Sanders, μαζί με επτά από τους συναδέλφους του από την Fairchild Semiconductor.<ref> Sanders, ένας ηλεκτρολόγος μηχανικός ο οποίος ήταν ο διευθυντής μάρκετινγκ της Fairchild, είχε όπως και πολλοί Fairchild στελέχη που καλλιεργούνται απογοητευμένοι με την αυξανόμενη έλλειψη υποστήριξης, ευκαιρία, και την ευελιξία εντός της εν λόγω εταιρείας, και αποφάσισε να φύγει για να ξεκινήσει τη δική του εταιρεία ημιαγωγών.

In September 1969, AMD moved from its temporary location in [[Santa Clara, California|Santa Clara]] to [[Sunnyvale, California|Sunnyvale]], California.<ref>Rodengen, p. 36.</ref> To immediately secure a customer base, AMD initially became a [[second source]] supplier of microchips designed by Fairchild and [[National Semiconductor]].<ref name=directory>Pederson, Jay P.

In November 1969, the company manufactured its first product, the Am9300, a [[4-bit]] [[Integrated circuit#SSI.2C MSI and LSI|MSI]] [[shift register]], which began selling in 1970.<ref name=svh /><ref>Rodengen, pp. 36, 38.</ref> Also in 1970, AMD produced its first proprietary product, the Am2501 logic counter, which was highly successful.<ref name=lojek220>Lojek, Bo.
