MARCH, 2020 – AMD CONFIDENTIAL – NDA REQUIRED
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT​
This presentation contains forward-looking statements concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) such as the timing, features, functionality, availability, performance, expectations and expected
benefits related to AMD products and future products, including EPYC™ 7Fx2 Processors; AMD’s ability to achieve double digit market share in the second quarter of 2020; and AMD’s CPU roadmap,
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 presentation are based on current
beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this presentation 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; the ability of third
party manufacturers to manufacture AMD's products on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies; expected manufacturing yields for AMD’s products; AMD's 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; AMD's ability to
generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or obtain external financing for research and development or other strategic investments; the loss of a significant customer; AMD's ability to
generate revenue from its semi-custom SoC products; global economic uncertainty; political, legal and economic risks, natural disasters, and public health risks, including the impact of COVID-19;
government actions and regulations such as export administration regulations, tariffs and trade protection measures may limit our ability export our products to certain customers; potential security
vulnerabilities; potential IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyber-attacks; the ability of GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. to satisfy AMD’s manufacturing requirements; uncertainties involving the
ordering and shipment of AMD’s products; quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; the restrictions imposed by agreements governing AMD’s notes and the secured credit facility; the competitive
markets in which AMD’s products are sold; the potential dilutive effect if the 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 are converted; the market conditions of the industries in which AMD products
are sold; AMD’s reliance on third-party intellectual property to design and introduce new products in a timely manner; AMD's reliance on third-party companies for the design, manufacture and
supply of motherboards, software and other computer platform components; AMD's reliance on Microsoft Corporation and other software vendors' support to design and develop software to run on
AMD’s products; AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors and add-in-board partners; future impairments of goodwill and technology license purchases; AMD’s ability to attract and retain qualified
personnel; AMD's indebtedness; AMD's ability to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations or meet its working capital requirements; AMD's ability to repurchase its outstanding debt in
the event of a change of control; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry; the impact of acquisitions, joint ventures and/or investments on AMD's business; the impact of modification or
interruption of AMD’s internal business processes and information systems; the availability of essential equipment, materials or manufacturing processes; compatibility of AMD’s products with some
or all industry-standard software and hardware; costs related to defective products; the efficiency of AMD's supply chain; AMD's ability to rely on third party supply-chain logistics functions; AMD’s
stock price volatility; worldwide political conditions; unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations; AMD’s ability to effectively control the sales of its products on the gray market; AMD's ability to
adequately protect its technology or other intellectual property; current and future claims and litigation;potential tax liabilities; and environmental laws, conflict minerals-related provisions and other
laws or regulations. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD's Securities and Exchange Commissionfilings, including but not limited to AMD's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.

EPYC-07: Based on June 8, 2018 AMD internal testing of same-architectureproduct ported from 14 to 7 nm technology with similar implementationflow/methodology, using performance from SGEMM.
EPYC-18: Max boost for AMD EPYC processors is the maximum frequency achievable by any single core on the processor under normal operating conditions for server systems.
ROM-06: Some supported features and functionalityof 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors require a BIOS update from your server manufacturer when used with a motherboard designed for the 1st Gen AMD EPYC series
processor. A motherboard designed for 2nd Gen EPYC processors is required to enable all available functionality.
