Exhibit 99 [AMD Letterhead and Logo] CONTACT: Scott Allen Public Relations (408) 749-3311 John Greenagel Corporate Communications (408) 749-3310 Toni Beckham Investor Relations (408) 749-3127 AMD REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS SUNNYVALE, CA-APRIL 14, 1999-Advanced Micro Devices today reported a net loss of $128,367,000 on revenues of $631,593,000 for its first quarter, ended March 28, 1999. The loss amounted to $0.88 per share. The results for the first quarter include a charge of $15,016,000 for restructuring and other special charges. Without the restructuring and other special charges, the net loss would have been $0.81 per share. Revenues declined by 20 percent from the $788,820,000 achieved in the quarter ended December 27, 1998, which resulted in net income of $22,321,000, or $0.15 per share. Revenues increased by 17 percent from the $540,856,000 reported for the quarter ended March 29, 1998, which resulted in a net loss of $62,727,000, or $0.44 per share. "The best thing that can be said about the first quarter is that it's over," said W.J. Sanders III, chairman and chief executive officer. "The significant decline in revenues reported by AMD in the first quarter was almost entirely due to previously reported AMD-K6-2 microprocessor yield issues. The large revenue decline in the face of high fixed costs and record spending on research and development of $160 million in the quarter precipitated the unprecedented loss. Improvements in production yields in March and in the current quarter to date presage a sharp increase in unit production in the current quarter. The last seven weeks' production results increase our confidence in achieving our previously stated goal of shipping five million units in the current quarter. "We are seeing improving order patterns in our non-processor product lines in the aggregate, with flash memories leading the way," Sanders concluded. About AMD AMD is a global supplier of integrated circuits for the personal and networked computer and communications markets. AMD produces processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices, and products for communications and networking applications. Founded in 1969 and based in Sunnyvale, California, AMD had revenues of $2.5 billion in 1998.
