Background

Scope and content:

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale, California, that develops computer processors and related technologies. After having begun in sales at Amphenol in the early 1960s, Stephen J. Zelencik started working for Fairchild Semiconductor in 1964-5, migrating to Advanced Micro Devices in 1970 at the request of founder Jerry Sanders, who had left Fairchild to start AMD the year before. He was AMD's first outside salesperson, eventually serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Executive. Zelencik retired from AMD in 2003. This small collection contains 12 VHS videotapes and 1 DVD-R related to AMD, as well as a set of slides from Amphenol.

Acquisition information:

Gift of Stephen Zelencik, circa 2015.
