Quarterly Summary

Gross margin was 45 percent, down one percentage point sequentially primarily due to lower microprocessor average selling price (ASP).

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at the end of the quarter was $1.79 billion.

Computing Solutions segment revenue was flat both sequentially and year-over-year.

Operating income was $91 million, compared with $164 million in Q3-10 and $161 million in Q4-09.

Microprocessor ASP decreased sequentially and was flat year-over-year. The sequential decrease was due to lower notebook and server ASPs.

AMD kicked off the next era of vivid computing with the launch of the industrys first Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) aimed at providing better experiences on the types of visual and data-intensive applications that are becoming increasingly popular. Our first AMD Fusion APUs combine a low-power x86 microprocessor with DirectX®11 capable graphics to deliver optimized mobile experiences.

Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba plan to deliver affordable thin and light mobile PCs based on the new APUs that offer full 1080P HD experiences and long battery life.

Key software partners announced support for AMD Fusion APUs, including Adobe, ArcSoft, Corel, DivX and Microsoft.

Notebooks powered by AMDs new APU received nine prestigious innovation awards, including best innovation and editors choice awards.

AMD introduced its fastest six- and dual-core processors with the AMD Phenom II X6 1100T and the AMD Phenom II X2 565 Black Edition processors.

(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 our portion GFs results of operations in the fourth and third fiscal quarters of 2010 and the year ended December 25, 2010, and Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 and the year ended December 26, 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 fourth and third quarters of 2010, the Company excluded Equity in net income (loss) of investee. For the year ended December 25, 2010, the Company also 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 fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 and the year ended December 26, 2009, the Company excluded the Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations consisting of revenues, cost of sales, and profit on inventory between the Computing Solutions and the Foundry segments.

(4)

The outstanding diluted share amount for the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010 is 758 million shares, including the 24 million shares related to the Companys 5.75% convertible notes. The outstanding diluted share amounts for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation for the third fiscal quarter and year ended December 25, 2010 is 731 million shares and 733 million shares, respectively. These share amounts exclude the 24 million shares related to the Companys 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 fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company included an adjustment related to its legal settlement with a third party; for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009, the Company included an adjustment related to its legal settlement with Intel and for Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations operating loss; for fiscal 2010, the Company included adjustments related to its legal settlement with a third party and for certain restructuring reversals; and for fiscal 2009, the Company included adjustments related to its legal settlement with Intel, Foundry segment and Intersegment Eliminations operating loss, certain restructuring charges and GF formation costs. The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA in the financial schedules because the Companys 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 Companys 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 distributors 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 distributors payment is never reflected in the Companys 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 Companys management believes it is of importance to investors to understand the nature of these cash flows. The Companys 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.
