AMD REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
SUNNYVALE, CA--OCTOBER 7, 1996--AMD today reported a net loss of
$38,362,000 on sales of $456,862,000 for its third quarter, ended September 29,
1996. The loss amounted to $0.28 per share on a fully-diluted basis. The results
include a charge of approximately $6,000,000 for employee severance pay and
benefits associated with a work force reduction.
Sales for the like period of 1995 amounted to $606,953,000, which resulted
in net income of $42,000,000, or $0.30 per share fully diluted.
In the immediate-prior quarter, AMD reported sales of $455,077,000, which
resulted in a net loss of $34,672,000, or a loss of $0.26 per share fully
diluted. The company's second-quarter results included a non-recurring, pre-tax
gain of $16.3 million resulting from a sale of securities.
For the first nine months of 1996, AMD reported total revenues of
$1,456,151,000, which resulted in a net loss applicable to common shareholders
of $47,707,000, or $0.35 per common share fully diluted. For the first nine
months of 1995, AMD reported revenues of $1,873,201,000, which resulted in net
income applicable to common shareholders of $206,972,000 or $1.51 per share
fully diluted.

"Overall, bookings improved significantly from the levels of the second
quarter, but the book-to-bill ratio remained below 1:1," said W.J. Sanders III,
chairman and chief executive officer, in commenting on the company's three major
business segments.
"Revenues from our Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) business unit were down
slightly from the immediate-prior quarter," Sanders continued. "Sales of AMD's
MACH/(R)/ family of complex PLDs remained at near-record levels in a generally
weak PLD market.
"Revenues from AMD's Communications and Components Group (CCG) also
declined slightly from the second quarter," Sanders said. "Flash memory sales
resumed growth, and AMD recorded higher revenues on record unit sales. Telephony
products achieved record revenues during the quarter. These gains were offset,
however, by sharply lower EPROM sales.
"Revenues from our Computation Products Group (CPG) -- primarily
Microsoft/(R)/ Windows/(R)/-compatible microprocessors -- grew from the
immediate-prior quarter. Shipments of AMD-K5/(TM)/ microprocessors more than
doubled to 500,000 units, led by sales of the AMD-K5-PR100/(TM)/ microprocessor.
With today's introduction of AMD-K5-PR133/(TM)/ and AMD-K5-PR120/(TM)/ devices,
the AMD-K5 family now addresses 70 percent of the desktop market.
"The aggregate results from CCG and PLD were once again unable to
offset the losses we are incurring in CPG, where revenues are currently
insufficient to absorb the substantial fixed costs of maintaining our strategic
commitment to the Microsoft Windows-compatible microprocessor market," Sanders
concluded.
