AMD REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER RESULTS
SUNNYVALE, CA--OCTOBER 7, 1997--AMD today reported a net loss of
$31,675,000 on sales of $596,644,000 for its third quarter, ended September 28,
1997. The loss amounted to $0.22 per share. Revenues were nominally up from
the immediate-prior quarter, and up by 31 percent from the like period of
1996.
Sales for the third quarter of 1996 amounted to $456,862,000, which
resulted in a net loss of $38,362,000, or $0.28 per share.
In the immediate-prior quarter, AMD reported sales of $594,561,000.
Second-quarter net income amounted to $9,968,000, or $0.07 per share, fully
diluted.
For the first nine months of 1997, the company reported total revenues
of $1,743,204,000, which resulted in a net loss of $8,756,000, or $0.06 per
share. For the first nine months of 1996, AMD reported total revenues of
$1,456,151,000, which resulted in a net loss of $47,707,000, or $0.35 per
share. Revenues increased by 20 percent over the first nine months of 1996.
"In this traditionally slow summer quarter, aggregate revenues from
our non-microprocessor businesses -- our Communications Group, our Memory
Group, and Vantis -- were essentially flat with the immediate-prior quarter,
and up 12 percent from the same period of 1996, " said W.J. Sanders III,
chairman and chief executive officer.

"Revenues from AMD-K6/TM/ MMX/TM/ enhanced processors increased by 50
percent to more than $150 million. The loss in the third quarter was due to
disappointing yields in the production of AMD-K6 MMX enhanced processors,"
Sanders continued. "Shipments of AMD-K6 processor rose from 350,000 units in
the immediate-prior quarter to one million units in our third quarter. While to
date we have executed the steepest microprocessor unit production ramp in AMD
history, yield and speed-grade improvements have lagged our expectations.
"Average selling process (ASPs) for K6 processors fell sharply from the
immediate-prior quarter. The decline in ASPs was influenced by two factors:
aggressive price cuts that became effective during the quarter, and a lower
proportion of 233-megahertz devices than planned.
"Demand for AMD-K6 processors remains strong and our customer base has
continued to expand. Achieving our planned production goal of approximately
two million units in the current quarter will require progress in improving
yields. No activity within the company has higher priority or more focus than
increasing production of K6 processors through higher yields and migration to
the next-generation 0.25-micron process," Sanders concluded.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This press release contains forward-looking statements about
management's expectations of future performance. Investors are cautioned that
all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.

The forward-looking statements about the AMD-K6/TM/ MMX/TM/ Enhanced
Processor involve risk and uncertainties that the company's production ramp
will fall short of expectations, that production yields will improve, that
customers acceptance and demand of he product will continue, that the customer
base for the product will continue to expand, that timely development and
qualification of 0.25-micron process technology will occur, that customer
demand for the product will be less than available production capacity, that
new wafer fabrication process technologies will not be developed as rapidly as
customers need or demand, and that economic conditions will change and affect
demand for microprocessors and other integrated circuits. Investors are urged
to consult the risks and uncertainties detailed in the company's reports filed
wit the Securities and Exchange Commission.
