Where is AMD headquartered?

AMD is headquartered at 2485 Augustine Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054. Santa Clara sits at the center of Silicon Valley and provides AMD with proximity to TSMC's US operations, key cloud and enterprise customers, and the deep semiconductor engineering talent pool in the Bay Area. The Santa Clara HQ houses the executive leadership team including Lisa Su and serves as AMD's primary address for all regulatory filings, investor relations, and corporate governance.

While the Santa Clara campus is the corporate and legal headquarters, it is not AMD's largest employee concentration by headcount. That distinction belongs to Austin, Texas, where AMD has built one of its largest engineering campuses with approximately 2,981–3,000 employees handling significant CPU and GPU architecture, software, platform engineering, and business operations work. Austin benefits from Texas's large engineering talent pool, a lower cost of living than the Bay Area, and strong university pipelines via UT Austin.

AMD's global footprint reflects both organic growth and the integration of Xilinx (acquired February 2022), which brought substantial engineering teams in San Jose (the legacy Xilinx headquarters), Singapore, and Hyderabad. In India alone, AMD has engineering centers in both Bengaluru (~1,312 employees) and Hyderabad (~1,217 employees) that together account for a significant share of AMD's global R&D workforce — with the India centers particularly strong in software engineering, verification, and platform development.

In Canada, AMD maintains offices in both Toronto (~887 employees) and Markham (~354 employees), primarily for engineering and support functions. In Asia-Pacific, Singapore is a significant hub (~617 employees), and AMD has a presence in Taipei (Taiwan) and Shanghai (China) that supports its relationships with TSMC and broader Asia supply chain partners. In EMEA, AMD has offices in Dublin (Ireland), Munich (Germany), and across the UK and France, which fall under Darren Grasby's EMEA and Chief Sales Officer remit. As AMD has scaled from ~10,000 employees pre-Xilinx to ~31,000 by December 2025, its global headcount distribution has become more balanced between North America and rest-of-world engineering centers.

AMD's geographic distribution creates distinct territory planning opportunities for vendors. North America is dominated by two clusters — Silicon Valley (Santa Clara, San Jose, San Francisco Bay Area) and Austin, Texas — making these the highest-priority markets for in-person executive engagement, account-based marketing, field events, and executive briefings. Both cities host AMD's senior buyers across engineering, IT, finance, and executive functions. Austin's Central Time alignment makes it the most convenient overlap point for US-based sellers engaging AMD's largest engineering hub.

For vendors targeting AMD's AI and data center engineering teams specifically, Austin and the India centers (Bengaluru and Hyderabad, both IST) are the hubs where technical buyer communities concentrate. IST requires planning for asynchronous outreach or early-morning US calls, but AMD's India engineering centers hold significant evaluation authority for developer tools, EDA software, and AI infrastructure platforms. Singapore and Toronto are secondary markets worth investment for vendors with Asia-Pacific or Canadian field teams. EMEA sellers should focus initial outreach on Dublin and Munich, where AMD's EMEA leadership and engineering support are most concentrated.
