AMD is an American semiconductor company founded in 1969 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, that designs processors, graphics chips and adaptive computing hardware without owning fabrication plants. Its Ryzen and Threadripper processors and Radeon graphics serve consumers and creators, EPYC server chips have taken a large share of the data centre market from Intel, and the Instinct accelerators compete for AI training and inference workloads. The 2022 acquisition of Xilinx added field-programmable gate arrays and adaptive systems on chip, and the company also supplies the custom silicon inside the PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Cisco Systems is an American networking company founded in 1984 by Stanford computer scientists Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner, and headquartered in San Jose, California. It is the largest supplier of enterprise networking equipment in the world, building the routers, switches, wireless access points and optical systems that carry traffic across corporate networks, service providers and data centres, together with the software and silicon that run them. The company has diversified heavily into security, observability through Splunk, collaboration with Webex, and AI infrastructure networking, and now earns a growing share of revenue from software subscriptions rather than hardware sales.

SiFive is an American semiconductor company founded in 2015 by the Berkeley researchers who created the RISC-V instruction set, and it designs processor cores that others license and build into their own chips. Its business is an alternative to Arm: because RISC-V is an open standard rather than a proprietary architecture, customers can extend the instruction set for their own workloads without negotiating with the architecture owner, which has drawn interest from companies building custom artificial intelligence and automotive silicon. Headquartered in Santa Clara, it licenses cores to chipmakers, cloud operators and defence customers rather than manufacturing anything itself.
