                       AMD REPORTS 1995 YEAR-END RESULTS


SUNNYVALE, CA ... January 10, 1996 ... Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) today 
reported 1995 year-end sales of $2,429,724,000, an increase of 14 percent 
compared to the $2,134,659,000 reported for fiscal 1994. Net income applicable 
to common stockholders was $300,511,000, compared to $294,916,000 for 1994. 
Earnings per share were $2.81 on a fully diluted basis, compared to $2.92 per 
share fully diluted reported for 1994.

Sales for the fourth quarter of 1995 were $539,029,000, up nine percent compared
to $545,168,000 reported for the fourth quarter of 1994. Third quarter sales 
were $590,385,000. Net income applicable to common stockholders was $55,572,000 
or $0.52 per share, up 46 percent compared to $38,171,000 or $0.39 per share 
fully diluted earned in the fourth quarter of 1994. The fourth quarter 1994 net 
income reflected a one-time charge for a litigation settlement. Third quarter 
1995 net income was $56,163,000 or $0.52 per share. Net income in the fourth 
quarter of 1995 benefited from a lower tax rate.

The company again reported strong demand for its flash products. "Sales of our 
flash devices grew over 20 percent on a sequential basis and nearly tripled 
year-over-year," said W.J. Sanders III, chairman and chief executive officer of 
AMD.  "Late in the quarter we began sampling our new 3 volt-only flash memory 
products, which we believe will gain wide acceptance for battery powered 
applications in 1996."

                                       2

Overall sales in the fourth quarter were only nominally higher over the third
quarter due to lower than expected unit shipments of Am486(R) microprocessors.
"With the exception of Microsoft(R) Windows(R)-compatible microprocessors, our
product sales increased by eight percent sequentially and more than 36 percent
for the year," Sanders said.

In December, AMD broadly sampled customers with the first member of its K86(TM)
Superscalar Family of Microsoft Windows-compatible microprocessors, code named
SSA/5-75. This microprocessor is a plug-in replacement for a Pentium 75. Also
during the quarter, AMD commenced shipments of its AM5x86(TM)-P75
microprocessor. This device exceeds the performance of a Pentium 75 while
maintaining socket compatibility with 486 motherboards. Both products are
manufactured on AMD's 0.35 micron logic process technology.

Focusing on personal and networked computing and communications markets, 
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., produces microprocessors and related peripherals, 
flash memories, programmable logic devices, and circuits for telecommunications 
and networking applications. Founded in 1969, AMD has sales and manufacturing 
facilities worldwide.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 
1995: Statements in this release looking forward in time involve risks and 
uncertainties, including product demand and market acceptance risks, the effect 
of changing economic conditions, the impact of competitive products and pricing,
risks in technology development, risks in product development and 
commercialization, the effect of the company's accounting policy, and other risk
factors detailed in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
