Last week's trivia answer

I was founded in 1969 and closed my first year with 53 employees and 18 products, but no sales. Today, my annual sales top $6 billion, and I employ more than 16,000 people. I'm No. 2 in the microprocessor industry, with market share topping 12 percent. I like to make Intel work hard. My partners include Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Sun and Toshiba. My name could be rephrased as "Progressive Tiny Contraptions." Who am I?

(Answer: Advanced Micro Devices)
