AMD is intel's competitor and makes x86 cpu's.
Their K7 cpu's (athlon, (pentium 3 killer), duron (celeron killer), athlon XP (p4 killer, 'cept for the 3200+), and athlon MP (xeon killer)) and their new chips, the K8 cpu's (the superfast AMD Athlon FX (P4 HT emergency edition killer), athlon64 (was more lethal to the p4 than the athlon XP), and opteron (itanium killer))
the reason that these chips can smoke equivalently-clocked p4's is becuase of the chip's very efficient architecture. the athlonxp uses a pipeline only about half as deep as the p4, making it more efficient because instructions do not take as long to be processed. K8 chips have a slightly deeper pipeline than the K7's.

"i got an amd chip 'cause i didnt want to go hungry for a year 'cause p4's are so friggin expensive"
"p4's are overpriced... imma grab an athlonxp... same performance if not better for half the price"

A-M-D
The best architexually designed CPU's. Ever.
20-50% more effiecnt at the SAME clock speeds as that of the latest Intel P4 CPUS

A shortened name for the CPU company Advanced Micro Devices. Focussed on the best price per dollar, their processors are weaker than Intel processors, but are also much cheaper.

Happens when texting too quickly; You actually meant to type "and" but your finger missed the "N" and instead hit the "M" button on your keyboard, yet you're too blind to notice this and hit "send" anyway, realizing your mistake much too late.
It can also stand for AMD which is a short form of Advanced Micro Devices
You can find out which 'amd' the person you were talking to meant by simply thinking of what your conversation was about;
For CPUs they usually mean: AMD as in Advanced Micro Devices.
For anything other than CPUs it's: amd as in and but with a typo.
