Cautionary Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD" or the "Company") including the demand of AMD's semi-custom products, Radeon™ RX GPUs and 7th Generation A-Series APUs, the ability of AMD to position itself based on the strength of its products to drive growth and market share gains in the second half of the year; the features, functionality, timing and availability of AMD future products; and AMD's expected third quarter 2016 revenue, which are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by words such as "would," "may," "expects," "believes," "plans," "intends," "projects" and other terms with similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this document are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond AMD's control, that could cause actual results and other future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, without limitation, the following: Intel Corporation's dominance of the microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may limit AMD's ability to compete effectively; AMD relies on GF to manufacture all of its microprocessor and APU products and a certain portion of its GPU products, with limited exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD's manufacturing requirements, its business could be adversely impacted; AMD relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies, AMD's business could be materially adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing yields for AMD's products could negatively impact its financial results; the success of AMD's business is dependent upon its ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and performance levels that provide value to its customers while supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be unable to make all of its planned investments in research and development or other strategic investments; the loss of a significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD; global economic uncertainty may adversely impact AMD's business and operating results; AMD may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a substantial amount of indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD's notes and the Secured Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD that may adversely affect its ability to operate its business; the completion and impact of the 2015 Restructuring Plan, its transformation initiatives and any future restructuring actions could adversely affect it; the markets in which AMD's products are sold are highly competitive; uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of AMD's products could materially adversely affect it; AMD's receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party products and the success of those products; the demand for AMD's products depends in part on the market conditions in the industries into which they are sold. Fluctuations in demand for AMD's products or a market decline in any of these industries could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations; AMD's ability to design and introduce new products in a timely manner is dependent upon third-party intellectual property; AMD depends on third-party companies for the design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, software and other computer platform components to support its business; if AMD loses Microsoft Corporation's support for its products or other software vendors do not design and develop software to run on AMD's products, its ability to sell its products could be materially adversely affected; AMD's reliance on third-party distributors and AIB partners subjects it to certain risks; AMD's inability to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel may hinder its product development programs; in the event of a change of control, AMD may not be able to repurchase its outstanding debt as required by the applicable indentures and its Secured Revolving Line of Credit, which would result in a default under the indentures and its Secured Revolving Line of Credit; the semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and has experienced severe downturns that have materially adversely affected, and may continue to materially adversely affect its business in the future; acquisitions, divestitures and/or joint ventures could disrupt its business, harm its financial condition and operating results or dilute, or adversely affect the price of, its common stock; AMD's business is dependent upon the proper functioning of its internal business processes and information systems and modification or interruption of such systems may disrupt its business, processes and internal controls; data breaches and cyber-attacks could compromise AMD's intellectual property or other sensitive information, be costly to remediate and cause significant damage to its business and reputation; AMD's operating results are subject to quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; if essential equipment, materials or manufacturing processes are not available to manufacture its products, AMD could be materially adversely affected; if AMD's products are not compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware, it could be materially adversely affected; costs related to defective products could have a material adverse effect on AMD; if AMD fails to maintain the efficiency of its supply chain as it responds to changes in customer demand for its products, its business could be materially adversely affected; AMD outsources to third parties certain supply-chain logistics functions, including portions of its product distribution, transportation management and information technology support services; AMD may incur future impairments of goodwill; AMD's worldwide operations are subject to political, legal and economic risks and natural disasters, which could have a material adverse effect on it; worldwide political conditions may adversely affect demand for AMD's products; unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect AMD; AMD's inability to effectively control the sales of its products on the gray market could have a material adverse effect on it; if AMD cannot adequately protect its technology or other intellectual property in the United States and abroad, through patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other measures, it may lose a competitive advantage and incur significant expenses; AMD is a party to litigation and may become a party to other claims or litigation that could cause it to incur substantial costs or pay substantial damages or prohibit it from selling its products; AMD's business is subject to potential tax liabilities; and a variety of environmental laws that AMD is subject to could result in additional costs and liabilities. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to AMD's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 26, 2016.

1.   In this earnings press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, 
     AMD has provided non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP gross  
     margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating expenses, 
     non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share.     
     These non-GAAP financial measures reflect certain adjustments as       
     presented in the tables in this earnings press release. AMD also       
     provided adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow as supplemental   
     measures of its performance. These items are defined in the footnotes  
     to the selected corporate data tables provided at the end of this      
     earnings press release. AMD is providing these financial measures      
     because it believes this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier for     
     investors to compare its operating results for current and historical  
     periods and also because AMD believes it assists investors in comparing
     AMD's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by    
     excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core    
     operating performance and for the other reasons described in the CFO   
     Commentary.

*   The Company presents "Adjusted EBITDA" as a supplemental measure of its 
    performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is determined by adjusting 
    operating income (loss) for depreciation and amortization, stock-based  
    compensation expense and restructuring and other special charges, net.  
    In addition, the Company excluded a technology node transition charge   
    for the three months and six months ended June 27, 2015 and             
    amortization of acquired intangible assets for the six months ended     
    June 27, 2015. The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted EBITDA  
    because the Company's 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 Company's         
    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.                                                      
                                                                            
**  The Company also presents non-GAAP free cash flow as a supplemental     
    measure of its performance. Non-GAAP free cash flow is determined by    
    adjusting GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for  
    capital expenditures. The Company calculates and communicates non-GAAP  
    free cash flow in the financial earnings press release because the      
    Company's management believes it is of importance to investors to       
    understand the nature of these cash flows. The Company's calculation of 
    non-GAAP 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 free cash flow as an alternative to  
    GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating activities. The    
    Company has provided reconciliations within the earnings press release  
    of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable    
    GAAP financial measures.
