05:27pm EDT 18-Apr-01 Corporate Release (Toni Beckham 408/749-3127) AMD
AMD Reports First Quarter Results/PART ONE OF THREE

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--April 18, 2001--AMD today reported sales of
$1,188,747,000 and net income of $124,837,000 for the quarter ended
April 1, 2001. Net income amounted to $0.37 per diluted share. The
company reported record sales and record unit shipments of PC
processors, led by strong sales of its seventh-generation AMD
Athlon(TM) and AMD Duron(TM) processors.
Total sales grew by 9 percent over the like period of 2000 while
increasing by 1 percent from the immediate-prior quarter. In the first
quarter of 2000, AMD reported sales of $1,092,029,000 and net income
of $189,349,000, or $0.55 per diluted share. The company noted the tax
rate for the just-completed quarter was 32 percent versus zero in the
comparable period of 2000. In the fourth quarter of 2000, AMD reported
sales of $1,175,172,000, and net income of $177,968,000, or $0.53 per
diluted share, with a 15 percent tax rate.
AMD sold more than 7.3 million PC processors, including 6.5
million seventh-generation AMD Athlon and Duron processors. Average
selling prices (ASPs) increased from the immediate-prior quarter on
the richer product mix. Total PC processor sales, at $661 million,
increased 17 percent from both the comparable quarter of 2000 and the
immediate-prior quarter.
"AMD had an excellent quarter in a challenging economic
environment," said W.J. Sanders III, chairman and chief executive
officer. "The superiority of our seventh-generation PC processors
enabled AMD to achieve record PC processor sales in both dollars and
units even as the industry worked through inventory issues in a
softening economy. Our success in the PC processor arena reflects
continuing excellent execution as well as our ability to supply
products with more delivered performance that enhance the
competitiveness of our customers.
"New product introductions during the quarter strengthened and
broadened our PC processor portfolio," Sanders continued. "We
commenced volume shipments of our newest, power-managed AMD Athlon
processors, code-named `Palomino,' for the mobile PC market segment.
Palomino processors feature an enhanced core and our proprietary
PowerNow! technology, which dynamically adjusts the frequency and
voltage of the processor based on the performance demands of the
software, enabling a significant reduction in power consumption in
mobile applications. PowerNow! technology is just one example of the
better ideas from AMD that have elevated us to contention with IBM for
the number two global ranking in U.S. patent issuances relating to
large-scale integration processes and devices in 2000.
"AMD also introduced 1.3-gigahertz (GHz) and 1.33-GHz desktop
versions of the AMD Athlon processor in the first quarter. Earlier
this month, AMD introduced a 900-megahertz version of the AMD Duron
processor, the industry's highest-performance processor for the value
segment of the desktop market.
"With these additions to our PC processor offerings, we have a
compelling solution for the performance mobile PC market where we have
heretofore lacked a competitive offering while extending our
performance leadership for desktop PC applications," Sanders
continued.
"Sales of flash memory products, reflecting a sharp decline in
demand from the communications sector of the economy, declined by
approximately 10 percent sequentially to $411 million," Sanders
continued. "Our broad product offering, excellent relationships with
major customers, and long-term purchase agreements helped to mitigate
the effects of this challenging environment and achieve 26 percent
growth in flash memory product sales over the like period of 2000.
"We gained market share last quarter in both PC processors and
flash memory, the focal points of our growth strategy," Sanders said.
"Sales of our seventh-generation processors (AMD Athlon and AMD
Duron processors) grew 27 percent sequentially and 126 percent
year-on-year. Demand for our highest-performance AMD Athlon processors
remained strong and we shipped more than 2 million 1-GHz and faster
devices. Going forward, we plan to continue our aggressive production
ramp in Fab 30 in Dresden, which will be the source of our
highest-performance AMD Athlon processors, including the new
power-managed versions," Sanders concluded.

Current Outlook

The company's outlook statements are based on current
expectations. The following statements are forward-looking, and actual
results could differ materially. The company's current outlook is
based on the following projections.
The company currently expects that, in the seasonally slow second
quarter for PC sales, the enhanced competitive position of AMD-based
solutions will enable maintenance of PC processor unit sales at
near-record levels comprised totally of seventh-generation products.
The company currently expects PC industry unit growth in the high
single-digit range for 2001 as a whole.
Uncertainties regarding the level of demand for flash memory
products in a continuing soft communications sector makes forecasting
memory product sales extremely difficult. The company currently
projects that second quarter sales of flash memory products will
decline sequentially.
AMD's other IC products and foundry services, which currently
account for less than 10 percent of corporate revenues, will continue
their decline both in absolute terms and as a percentage of total
revenues.
Accordingly, in this uncertain climate, AMD expects that overall
second quarter revenues could decline by as much as 10 percent
sequentially, depending on market conditions.
For the year as a whole, on modest sales growth in a declining
market, the company expects to earn $1.50 per diluted share,
consistent with First Call consensus earnings estimates.

AMD Teleconference

AMD will hold a teleconference for the financial community at 2:30
PM Pacific Standard Time today to discuss first-quarter financial
results. AMD will provide a real-time audio broadcast of the
teleconference on the Investor Relations page of its web site at
amd.com or streetfusion.com. The webcast
will be available for two weeks after the teleconference.

Cautionary Statement

This release contains forward-looking statements, 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
uncertainty that could cause actual results to differ materially from
current expectations. There can be no assurance that demand for the
company's products will continue at currently expected levels, that
the company will grow sales for the year, or that it will meet
earnings per share estimates.
Risks also include the possibility that global business and
economic conditions will worsen; that demand for personal computers
and, in turn, demand for the company's PC processors will be lower
than currently expected; that Intel Corporation pricing, marketing
programs, new product introductions or other activities targeting the
company's processor business will prevent attainment of the company's
current PC processor sales plans; that the company will not continue
to be successful in ramping production of the company's highest
performance processors in Fab 30; that the company will not be able to
produce AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors in the volume, speed mix
or with the feature set necessary to meet market requirements and the
company's current plans and goals; that third parties may not provide
timely or adequate infrastructure solutions to support the AMD Athlon
and AMD Duron processors; and that changes in customer needs and the
product introductions and capacity expansion of competitors will
effect the demand for the company's flash memory products. 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 report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2000.
