SUNNYVALE, Calif. – July 15, 2010 – AMD (NYSE:AMD) today announced revenue for the second quarter of 2010 of $1.65 billion, a net loss of $43 million, or $0.06 per share, and operating income of $125 million.

Quarterly Summary

•

Gross margin was 45 percent

•

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at the end of the quarter was $1.90 billion, approximately flat from the first quarter.

During the quarter, AMD used $200 million to repurchase $206 million principal amount of our 6.00 percent Convertible Senior Notes due 2015.

•

Computing Solutions segment revenue increased 4 percent sequentially and 31 percent year-over-year. The increases were primarily driven by record notebook microprocessor and chipset unit shipments.

Operating income was $128 million, compared with $146 million in Q1-10 and an operating loss of $67 million in Q2-09.

Microprocessor average selling price (ASP) was flat sequentially and increased year-over-year.

AMD demonstrated the world’s first Fusion Accelerated Processing Units (APU), codenamed “Ontario” and “Llano”, at Computex. Fusion APUs combine the microprocessor and graphics processor unit (GPU) onto a single piece of silicon to deliver breakthroughs in visual computing, user interface and performance-per-watt while enabling new PC designs.

Sony joined the ranks of global PC companies offering AMD microprocessor-based solutions. Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony, and Toshiba announced new notebooks featuring VISION Technology from AMD for the back-to-school and holiday buying periods. Global PC manufacturers have tripled the number of notebook offerings featuring VISION Technology in the last year.

AMD launched the world’s first server platform designed specifically for cloud and hyperscale data centers, featuring the industry’s lowest power-per-core x86 server processor. Acer, Dell, HP and Supermicro announced plans to adopt the Opteron™ 4000 Series for their product offerings.

AMD microprocessors power the highest-performing supercomputer in the world and three of the top four systems in the most recent TOP500 Supercomputers list. AMD is the only company with both microprocessor and GPU technology on the list.

•

Graphics segment revenue increased 8% sequentially and 87 percent year-over-year. The sequential increase was driven by record GPU unit shipments, partially offset by a decrease in ASP. The year-over-year increase was driven by an increase in GPU shipments and ASP.

Operating income was $33 million, compared with $47 million in Q1-10 and a loss of $17 million in Q2-09.

-more-

In just three quarters, AMD has shipped more than 16 million Microsoft DirectX 11-capable GPUs. The ATI Radeon™ HD 5000 series remains the industry’s only complete top-to-bottom family of DirectX11-compatible graphics solutions.

Dell adopted the latest ATI FirePro™ professional graphics products in its highest-performing workstations designed for graphics-intensive professions.

Current Outlook

AMD’s outlook statements are based on current expectations. The following statements are forward looking, and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under “Cautionary Statement” below.

AMD expects revenue to be up seasonally for the third quarter of 2010.

AMD Teleconference

AMD will hold a conference call for the financial community at 2:00 p.m. PT (5:00 p.m. ET) today to discuss its second quarter financial results. AMD will provide a real-time audio broadcast of the teleconference on the Investor Relations page of its Web site at AMD. The webcast will be available for 10 days after the conference call.

(1)

From March 2, 2009 through December 26, 2009, the Company consolidated the operating results of GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF). Starting in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 the Company began to account for its investment in GF under the equity method of accounting. The Company believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for investors to compare current and historical period operating results, by excluding the results of operations of GF in the first and second fiscal quarter of 2010, and the six months ended 2010 and Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations in the second fiscal quarter of 2009 and six months ended June 27, 2009.

(2)	Starting in the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company began to account for its investment in GF under the equity method of accounting. From March 2, 2009 through December 26, 2009 the operating results of GF were included in the Foundry segment.

(3)

For the second fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company excluded Equity in net income (loss) of investee and for the first fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company further excluded the gain recognized on the fair value assessment of its investment in GF upon deconsolidation, and the gross margin benefit due to the deconsolidation of GF. For the second fiscal quarter of 2009 and the six months ended June 27, 2009, the Company excluded the Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations consisting of revenues, cost of sales, and profits on inventory between the Computing Solutions segment and the Foundry segment.

(4)

The outstanding diluted share amount for the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation for the second fiscal quarter of 2010, the first fiscal quarter of 2010, and the six month period ended June 26, 2010 are 733 million shares, 730 million shares, and 732 million shares respectively. These share amounts exclude the 24 million shares related to the Company’s 5.75% convertible notes because the inclusion of these shares would be anti-dilutive.

Starting with the quarter ended December 26, 2009, the Company presented “Adjusted EBITDA” as a supplemental measure of its performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company was determined by adjusting operating income (loss) for depreciation and amortization, employee stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets. In addition, for the second quarter of 2010 and the six months ended June 26, 2010, the Company further included an adjustment for certain restructuring reversals. For the second fiscal quarter of 2009 and the six months ended June 27, 2009, the Company further included adjustments for the Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations operating loss, and for restructuring charges, and for the six months ended June 27, 2009, the Company further included an adjustment for GF formation costs. The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA in the financial schedules because the Company’s management believes it is of importance to investors and lenders in relation to its overall capital structure and its ability to borrow additional funds. In addition, the Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes this measure assists investors in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to the GAAP operating measure of operating income (loss) or GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows.

**	Long-term debt and capital lease obligations also includes the current portion.

***

Starting in the first quarter of 2010, the Company presents non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow as a supplemental measure of its performance. In 2008 and 2009 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “AMD Parties”) entered into supplier agreements with IBM Credit LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “IBM Parties”). Pursuant to these supplier agreements, the AMD Parties sell to the IBM Parties invoices of selected distributor customers. Because the Company does not recognize revenue until its distributors sell its products to their customers, under U.S. GAAP, the Company classifies funds received from the IBM Parties as debt on the balance sheet. Moreover, for cash flow purposes, these funds are classified as cash flows from financing activities. When a distributor pays the applicable IBM Party, the Company reduces the distributor’s accounts receivable and the corresponding debt resulting in a non-cash accounting entry. Because the Company does not receive the cash from the distributor to reduce the accounts receivable, the distributor’s payment is never reflected in the Company’s cash flows from operating activities. Non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow for the Company was determined by adjusting GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities by adding the distributors’ payments to the IBM Parties to GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. This amount is then further adjusted by subtracting capital expenditures . Generally, under U.S. GAAP, the reduction in accounts receivable is assumed to be a source of operating cash flows. Therefore, the Company believes that treating the payments from its distributor customers to the IBM Parties as if the Company actually received the cash from the distributor and then used that cash to pay down the debt is more reflective of the economic substance of the transaction. The Company calculates and communicates non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow in the financial schedules because the Company’s management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash flows. The Company’s calculation of non-GAAP Adjusted free cash flow may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow as an alternative to GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating or financing activities.
