AMD produced its first product in 1970. AMD started in logic chips and memory and moved into microprocessors with Intel clones and the 2901 bit-slice microprocessor. AMD signed a 10 year Second Source agreement with Intel in February of 1982, however, the road with Intel was rocky as competition became more intense.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Major
