SUNNYVALE, CA - SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 - AMD announced today that the company
produced and shipped one million AMD-K6/TM/MMX/TM/ Enhanced Processors in the
third quarter and still plans to produce approximately two million AMD-K6s in
the fourth quarter. During the third quarter, lower than expected AMD-K6
yields resulted in lower revenues and an operating loss that was substantially
larger than anticipated. The company will report third-quarter financials
