AMD REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

– 53 Percent Year-over-Year Sales Growth1 Driven by Record Adoption of AMD Opteron™ Processors –

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — July 20, 2006 — AMD (NYSE: AMD) today reported sales of $1.22 billion, operating income of $102 million, and net income of $89 million, or $0.18 per share, for the quarter ended July 2, 2006. These results include $18 million of employee stock-based compensation expense and a net gain of $10 million associated with Spansion LLC.’s repurchase of its 12.75 percent senior subordinated notes.

In the second quarter of 2005, excluding the Memory Products segment1, AMD reported sales of $797 million and operating income of $83 million. In the first quarter of 2006, AMD reported sales of $1.33 billion and operating income of $259 million.

“While we achieved 53 percent year-over-year sales growth and recorded our twelfth consecutive quarter of greater than 20 percent year-over-year microprocessor sales growth, we are dissatisfied by not reaching our second quarter sales target,” said Robert J. Rivet, AMD’s chief financial officer.

“We are particularly pleased with the continued adoption of AMD solutions in the commercial segment. In particular, AMD Opteron processor sales grew 26 percent sequentially and we believe we gained server processor market share in the quarter. Sales to our largest global customers grew quarter-over-quarter as we continued to successfully execute our strategy. Sales through the distribution channel were down, primarily because we chose not to participate in certain deeply-discounted opportunities.

 


(1) As a result of Spansion Inc.’s initial public offering (IPO) in December 2005, financial results for periods in 2006 compared to periods in 2005 do not correlate directly. All references to and comparisons with periods in 2005 exclude the results of the Company’s former Memory Products segment.

“Second quarter manufacturing execution was outstanding, with Fab 36 ramping 300mm capacity aggressively at mature yields. In addition, Chartered Semiconductor is now in production of AMD products.”

Second quarter sales were down from the prior quarter primarily due to the challenging pricing environment for high-volume desktop processors which negatively impacted average selling prices (ASPs). Total microprocessor unit shipments were down four percent sequentially.

Record AMD Opteron processor sales were driven by growing demand for single- and multi-socket server and workstation solutions. AMD Opteron processor unit shipments experienced double digit percentage growth quarter-over-quarter, and the sequential ASP percentage increase was in the single digits.

Second quarter gross margin was 56.8 percent, compared to 58.5 percent in the first quarter of 2006. The gross margin decrease was largely due to lower desktop processor ASPs. Operating income was $102 million in the second quarter, up from $83 million in the second quarter of 2005 and down from $259 million in the first quarter of 2006. The decline in operating income from the prior quarter was due largely to lower sales and increased operating expenses related to an extra week of operations in the quarter, and marketing expenses in support of the company’s long-term goals to acquire new customers, expand business with existing customers, and increase commercial sales.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

This release contains forward-looking statements concerning sales for the third quarter of 2006, AMD’s Torrenza initiative and AMD’s manufacturing capacity expansion plans, 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 uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the company’s current expectations. Risks include the possibility that global business and economic conditions will worsen, resulting in lower than currently expected sales in the third quarter of 2006 and beyond; that Intel Corporation’s pricing, marketing programs, product bundling, new product introductions or other activities targeting the company’s microprocessor business will prevent attainment of the company’s current microprocessor sales plans; that demand for computers and, in turn, demand for the company’s microprocessors will be lower than currently expected; that adoption of AMD64 products by OEMs will not continue to occur as expected; that the company may not achieve its current product and technology introduction schedules; that the company will not be able to raise sufficient capital to enable it to establish leading-edge capacity to maintain its market leadership positions; that the company will not be able to obtain sufficient manufacturing capacity or components to meet demand for its products; that solutions providers will not provide the infrastructure to support the company’s AMD64 technology in a timely fashion; and that unfavorable results of operations of Spansion will adversely impact the company’s results of operations. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2005 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 26, 2006.
