In 1995, its green variant was used as a main logo until 2013.

This is a slimmer variant of its main arrow logo and it is commonly used on AMD chips in that period until it was dropped later in the 1990s in favor of its main AMD arrow logo. This logo was first used on one of its variants of Am8086 processor, based on Intel's 8086 processor.
AMD introduced its own wordmark alongside the AMD K5 processor in 1996. The green arrow logo variant was used as their main logo until it was dropped in 2013 to instead use red as the brand's primary logo.
A hollow version of this wordmark is used in its GPU dies (The name of the chip on the graphics cards).
