AMD REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

-- Company Reports Sales of $985 million, Earnings of $0.05 per Share, and
Record PC Processor Unit Sales -


SUNNYVALE, CA - July 12, 2001 - AMD today reported sales of $985,264,000
and net income of $17,352,000 for the quarter ended July 1, 2001. Net income
amounted to $0.05 per diluted share, on 341 million fully diluted shares
outstanding.

Total sales declined by approximately 16 percent, and on continuing
businesses, by approximately 11 percent from the second quarter of 2000. Results
for the second quarter of 2000 included approximately $63 million in sales from
the company's voice communications business, which was sold on August 4, 2000.

Sales declined by approximately 17 percent from the first quarter of 2001,
when AMD reported sales of $1,188,747,000 and net income of $124,837,000, or
$0.37 per diluted share.

For the first six months of 2001, AMD reported total sales of
$2,174,011,000 and net income of $142,189,000, or $0.43 per diluted share. For
the first six months of 2000, AMD reported sales of $2,262,466,000 and net
income of $396,491,000, or $1.17 per diluted share.

AMD had record unit sales of more than 7.7 million PC processors during the
quarter. Unit sales of seventh-generation AMD Athlon(TM) and AMD Duron(TM)
processors were both at record levels. Average selling prices (ASPs) for PC
processors declined sharply from the first quarter in the face of very
aggressive pricing in a weak PC market.

Sales of AMD memory products declined by 13 percent from the second quarter
of 2000 and by 23 percent sequentially in a continuing weak demand environment.

"In what proved to be a more challenging semiconductor business environment
than anticipated, we believe we gained market share in our two principal product
lines, flash memory devices and PC processors," said W.J. Sanders III, chairman
and chief executive officer.

"Demand for flash memory products continued to reflect severe weakness in
the communications and networking sectors," Sanders continued. "The superiority
of AMD flash memory products coupled with supply agreements with more than two-
dozen leading OEMs have mitigated the impact on AMD of a severe downturn in the
flash memory market. We believe we have gained market share in the flash memory
arena in the first half of 2001.

"In a weak PC market, we experienced strong demand for AMD Athlon and AMD
Duron processors. Continuing the steepest ramp of any AMD processor family, unit
sales of our seventh-generation PC processors grew 16 percent sequentially. The
strength and breadth of our PC processor products and the superior performance
and value proposition of AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors enabled AMD to
achieve record PC processor unit sales. While responding to aggressive
competitive pricing depressed our revenues and earnings, we believe we continued
to gain unit market share in the PC processor market during the quarter. PC
processor revenues declined 11 percent sequentially, but grew nominally over the
second quarter of 2000," said Sanders.

Other developments

. AMD expanded its PC processor portfolio during the second quarter
with the introduction of the AMD Athlon 4 processor for mobile
PCs and the AMD Athlon MP(TM) and companion AMD 760 MP(TM)
chipset for workstation and server applications.

. AMD introduced higher-performance AMD Duron and AMD Athlon
processors. The 950-megahertz AMD Duron processor is the
industry's highest-performance processor for the value segment of
the PC market, and the 1.4-gigahertz AMD Athlon processor offers
more delivered performance than any other PC processor.

. AMD announced a breakthrough in flash memory cell architecture,
known as Mirror Bit(TM) architecture that enables a flash memory
device to store twice as much data as a standard flash memory
device while maintaining complete pin and software compatibility
without compromising AMD's industry-leading endurance of one
million read-write cycles.

. AMD retired $517 million of 6 percent convertible debentures.

. The company's Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany was named "Fab of the
Year" by the prestigious industry publication Semiconductor
International, the third time an AMD facility has claimed this
honor.

. NEC Corporation (NEC Japan), Microsoft Co., Ltd. (Microsoft
Japan), and ASCII Network Technology Inc. introduced a jointly
developed streaming content server powered by the 1.33-GHz AMD
Athlon processor that is targeted at commercial applications.

. AMD continued to gain support for its HyperTransport(TM)
technology, enhancing its position as an industry standard. With
a peak data rate of 6.4 gigabytes per second, HyperTransport
technology moves information faster within PCs, networking
systems, and communications devices. More than 100 companies now
support HyperTransport technology.

Current Outlook

The company's outlook statements are based on current expectations. The
following statements are forward-looking, and actual results could differ
materially. The company's current outlook is based on the following projections.

Demand for flash memory products continues to be weak, driven primarily by
the continued severe weakness in the communications and networking sectors.
Visibility in this product segment is poor, and the company projects a
sequential decline in sales for the third quarter.

PC industry unit growth for 2001 is less than previously forecasted, and
the company now believes that industry unit shipments will be approximately flat
for the year. Based on a normal seasonal pattern, which would show a pick-up in
market demand for PCs in the third quarter, the company expects that unit sales
of its AMD PC processors in the current quarter will again be at record levels
with ASPs under continuing pressure.

Weakness in the communications and networking sectors continues to impact
the company's foundry services and other IC products, and the company projects
that these revenues will continue to decline in the third quarter.

If current conditions prevail, the company expects that overall revenues
could decline in the range of 10 to 15 percent in the current quarter. With a
decline in sales of this magnitude, the company would report an operating loss.

Normal seasonality coupled with a recovery in some of the markets for flash
memory products should enable the company to increase revenues and return to
solid profitability in the fourth quarter.

Cautionary Statement

This release contains forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements in this release
involve risks and uncertainty that could cause actual results to differ
materially from current expectations. Risks include the possibility that global
business and economic conditions will worsen; that demand for personal computers
and, in turn, demand for the company's seventh-generation PC processors will be
lower than currently expected; that Intel Corporation pricing, marketing
programs, new product introductions or other activities targeting the company's
processor business will prevent attainment of the company's current PC processor
sales plans; that changes in customer needs and the product introductions and
capacity expansion of competitors will continue to effect the demand for the
company's flash memory products; that the company will not continue to be
successful in ramping production of the company's highest-performance AMD Athlon
processors in Fab 30; that the company will not be able to produce seventh-
generation processors in the volume, performance mix or with the feature set
necessary to meet market requirements and the company's current plans and goals;
that third parties may not provide timely or adequate infrastructure solutions
to support the company's seventh-generation processors; and that the company
will not be able to continue to gain market share in its principal product
lines. We urge investors to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in the
company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited
to the report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, and the report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2001.
