PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
May 5, 1998
(To Prospectus Dated April 20, 1998) [AMD LOGO APPEARS HERE]
$450,000,000

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC.
6% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2005

The 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the "Notes") will be
convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the
"Company") at any time at or prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or
repurchased, at a conversion price of $37.00 per share (equivalent to a
conversion rate of 27.027 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes),
subject to adjustment in certain events. See "Description of Notes--Conversion
Rights." Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November
15 of each year, commencing November 15, 1998. On May 5, 1998, the closing
sale price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (where it is
traded under the symbol "AMD") was $25.75 per share. See "Price Range of
Common Stock and Dividend Policy."

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company,
at any time on or after May 15, 2001, at the redemption prices set forth
herein, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if any;
provided that the Notes will not be redeemable prior to May 15, 2002, unless
the last reported sale price for the Common Stock is at least 130% of the then
effective conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30
consecutive trading days ending within five trading days of the date of the
redemption notice. The Company will be required to offer to repurchase the
Notes upon a Change of Control (as defined herein), at 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinated in
right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined
herein) of the Company. In addition, the Notes are structurally subordinated
to all Indebtedness (as defined herein) and other liabilities (including trade
payables) of the Company's subsidiaries. The Indenture (as defined herein)
contains no limitation on the incurrence of Senior Indebtedness or other
Indebtedness by the Company or its subsidiaries. At March 29, 1998, the
Company had approximately $1,430 million of Indebtedness outstanding that
would have constituted Senior Indebtedness, and the Company's subsidiaries had
approximately $716 million of outstanding Indebtedness and other liabilities.
See "Description of Notes."
