ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

          The following documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities
and Exchange Commission are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement:

          a.  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25,
     1994, and Amendment No. 1 thereto on Form 10-K/A dated August 7, 1995,
     filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended (the "Exchange Act");

          b.  Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended April 2,
     1995, July 2, 1995 and October 1, 1995, and Current Reports on Form 8-K
     dated December 30, 1994, February 10, 1995, March 13, 1995, April 17, 1995,
     September 25, 1995, November 6, 1995, December 18, 1995, January 5, 1996,
     January 10, 1996, January 12, 1996 and January 17, 1996.

          c.  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the

     purpose of updating such description.

     All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold, or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not applicable.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
 ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Delaware General Corporation Law provides for the indemnification of
officers and directors under certain conditions.  The Bylaws of the Registrant
permit indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.  In
addition, the Registrant is bound by agreements with certain of its directors
and officers  which obligate it to indemnify such persons in various
circumstances.  The Registrant has in effect a director and officer liability
insurance policy indemnifying the Registrant and the officers and directors of
the Registrant and officers and directors of the Registrant's subsidiaries
within a specific limit for certain liabilities incurred by them, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.  The Registrant pays the entire
premium of this policy.  The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation contains
a provision which eliminates the personal liability of directors of the
Registrant for monetary damages for certain breaches of fiduciary duty, as
permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

     Not applicable.

ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS

     See Index to Exhibits.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

     (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
     effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement;

          (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
     material change to such information in the registration statement.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly

          Stock Plan of NexGen, Inc., as amended
          --------------------------------------------------------------------

Gentlemen:

     We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to 1,100,000 shares of
the Company's common stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), issuable under the
Company's 1991 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "AMD ESPP"), and 1,076,141
shares of Common Stock issuable under the 1995 Stock Plan of NexGen, Inc., as
amended (the "NexGen Plan"), which the Company assumed in connection with the
merger of NexGen, Inc. with and into the Company.  As counsel to the Company, we
have examined such questions of law and such corporate records and other
documents as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of
this opinion.  On the basis of the foregoing, we advise you that in our opinion
the shares of Common Stock issuable under the AMD ESPP and the NexGen Plan have
been duly and validly authorized and, when issued and sold in the manner
contemplated by the respective plan, will be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.


                                   Very truly yours,
        

                                   /s/ Bronson, Bronson & McKinnon

          (ix)  To amend any outstanding Stock Purchase Agreement or Stock

     other right under the Plan and to determine the sufficiency of such
     consideration; and

          (xi)  To take any other actions deemed necessary or advisable for the
     administration of the Plan.

All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Committee shall be final
and binding on all Offerees, all Optionees, and all persons deriving their
rights from an Offeree or Optionee.  No member of the Committee shall be liable
for any action that he or she has taken or has failed to take in good faith with

declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable
in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the value
of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by 
reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a
recapitalization, a spinoff or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make

parent, for their continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving
corporation), for payment of a cash settlement equal to the difference between
the amount to be paid for one Share under such agreement and the Exercise Price,

any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option.  The grant of an Option pursuant
to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or

    (a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by
  completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deduction on the

  Corporation office not later than the 15th day of the month prior to a new
  Offering Period; provided that participants who go on a leave of absence

    (b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence with the first
  payroll following the Option Grant Date and shall end with the Purchase
  Date of the offering, unless sooner terminated by the participant as
  provided in paragraph 10, or by the Corporation.
 
  6. Payroll Deductions
 
    (a) At the time a participant files his subscription agreement, he shall
  elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the Offering
  Period at a rate not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Compensation which
  he would otherwise receive on such payday, provided that the aggregate of
  such payroll deductions during the Offering Period shall not exceed ten
  percent (10%) of the aggregate Compensation which he would otherwise have
  received during said Offering Period. The Committee shall determine whether
  the amount to be deducted from each paycheck is to be designated as a
  specific dollar amount, or as a percentage of the eligible Compensation
  being paid on such payday, or as either, and may also establish a minimum
  percentage or amount for such payroll deductions.
 
    (b) All payroll deductions authorized by a participant shall be credited
  to his account under the Plan. A participant may not make any additional
  payments into such account.
 
    (c) A participant may discontinue his preparation in the Plan as provided
  in paragraph 10, and may decrease or increase the rate of his payroll
  deductions a maximum of once during the Offering Period by completing and
  filing with the Corporation a new authorization for payroll deduction. The
  change in rate shall become effective no later than fifteen (15) days after
  the Corporation's receipt of the new authorization.
 
  7. Grant of Option
 
    (a) On each Option Grant Date, each participant in the Plan shall be
  granted an option to purchase (at the per share option price) the number of
  shares of the Corporation's Common Stock determined by dividing: (i) thirty
  percent (30%) of the participant's Pay by (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of
  the fair market value of a share of the Corporation's Common Stock on such
  Option Grant Date; but in no event shall such number be greater than the
  amount permitted under Section 7(b) of this Plan. Fair market value of a
  share of the Corporation's Common Stock shall be determined a provided in
  Section 7(c) herein. In calculating under this section the number of shares
  subject to option for the next Offering Period, and for purposes of
  calculating the foregoing limit, Pay for a current Offering Period shall
  mean: (1) Five Hundred Seventy (570) times the sum of (a) the participant's
  hourly wage rate in effect on the first day of the current Offering Period
  plus (b) the participant's average hourly overtime for the preceding
  Offering Period; plus (2) the amount of Compensation deferred from a prior
  Offering Period and which will be paid to the participant during the
  current Offering Period.
 
    (b) Exceptions. Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary
  notwithstanding, any option granted to an Employee shall be limited so
  that:
 
      (i) immediately after the grant, such employee would not own stock
    possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power
    or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation or of any
    subsidiary of the Corporation (including stock which the employee may
    purchase under outstanding options, and stock the ownership of which is
    attributed to the employee under Section 424(d) of the Code), and
 
      (ii) the Employee's rights to purchase shares under all employee
    stock purchase plans of the Corporation and its subsidiaries shall not
    accrue (i.e., become exercisable) at a rate which exceeds twenty-five
    thousand dollars ($25,000) of the fair market value of such shares
    (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year
    in which such option is outstanding at any time.
 
    (c) The option price per share of such shares shall be the lower of: (i)
  85% of the fair market value of a share of the Corporation's Common Stock
  at the Option Grant Date; or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of the
  Corporation's Common Stock at the Purchase Date. The fair market value of
  the Corporation's Common Stock on said dates shall be the closing price on
  the New York Stock Exchange for such date, or if no sale is made on such
  date, the corresponding closing price on the first preceding date on which
  the Corporation's Common Stock was sold.
 
                                       2

    (d) Any excess contributions remaining in the Employee's account after
  the purchase of the shares on the Purchase Date will be returned to the
  employee, or may be credited against future payroll deductions.
 
  8. Exercise of Option. Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as
provided in paragraph 10, his option for the purchase of shares will be
exercised automatically for the number of whole shares which the accumulated
payroll deductions in his account could purchase at the applicable option
price on the Purchase Date. During his lifetime, a participant's option to
purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him. Options granted with
respect to the initial Offering Period of April 1, 1991 through July 31, 1991
shall not be exercisable unless stockholders approve this Plan prior to
February 12, 1992.
 
  9. Delivery. As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date of each
offering, the Corporation shall arrange the delivery to each participant, as
appropriate, of a certificate representing the number of whole shares
purchased on exercise of his option.
 
  10. Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.
 
    (a) A participant may withdraw all, but not less than all, the payroll
  deductions credited to his account under the Plan at any time prior to the
  Purchase Date by giving written notice to the Corporation on a form
  provided for such purpose. All of the participant's payroll deductions
  credited to his account will be paid to him promptly after receipt of his
  notice of withdrawal, his option for the current period will be
  automatically cancelled, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase
  of shares will be made during the Offering Period.
 
    (b) Upon termination of the participant's employment for any reason,
  including retirement, permanent disability or death, the payroll deductions
  credited to his account will be returned to him or, in the case of his
  death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under paragraph 14, and
  his option will be automatically canceled.
 
    (c) In the event an Employee fails to remain in the continuous employ of
  the Corporation or its subsidiaries for customarily at least twenty (20)
  hours per week during an Offering Period, he will be deemed to have elected
  to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to his
  account will be returned to him and his option cancelled; provided that a
  participant who goes on an unpaid leave of absence shall be permitted to
  remain in the Plan with respect to an Offering Period which commenced prior
  to the beginning of such leave of absence. If such participant is not
  guaranteed reemployment by contract or statute and the leave of absence
  extends beyond 90 days, such participant shall be deemed to have terminated
  employment on the 91st day of such leave of absence. Payroll deductions for
  a participant who has been on an unpaid leave of absence will resume at the
  same rate as in effect prior to such leave upon return to work unless
  changed by such participant or unless the participant has been on an unpaid
  leave of absence either throughout an entire Offering Period or for more
  than ninety (90) days, in which cases the participant shall not be
  permitted to re-enter the Plan until a subscription agreement is filed with
  respect to a subsequent Offering Period which commences after such
  participant has returned to work from the unpaid leave of absence.
 
    (d) A participant's withdrawal from an offering will not have any effect
  upon his eligibility to participate in a succeeding offering or in any
  similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Corporation.
 
    (e) Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, an Employee who is
  subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall not
  resume contributions under the Plan for a period of at least six months
  after discontinuing his or her contributions. This subsection (e) shall be
  applicable only to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 (or its successor)
  under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
  11. No Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
participant in the Plan.

  12. Stock.
 
    (a) The maximum number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock which
  may be sold pursuant to options exercised under the Plan shall be three
  million six hundred thousand (3,600,000) shares, subject to adjustment upon
  changes in capitalization of the Corporation as provided in paragraph 18.
  The shares to be sold to participants in the Plan may be, at the election
  of the Corporation, either treasury shares or shares authorized by
  unissued. In addition, the officers of the Corporation are authorized to
  acquire shares of the Corporation's Common Stock in the open market for
  resale under this Plan. If the total number of shares which would otherwise
  be subject to options granted pursuant to paragraph 7(a) hereof at the
  Option Grant Date exceeds the number of shares then available under the
  Plan (after deduction of all shares for which options have been exercised
  or are then outstanding), the Corporation shall make a pro rata allocation
  of the shares remaining available for option grant in as uniform and
  equitable a manner as is practicable. In such event, the Corporation may
  reduce the rate of payroll deductions as appropriate.
 
    (b) The participant will have no interest or voting right in shares
  covered by his option until such option has been exercised.
 
    (c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be
  registered in the name of the participant.
 
  13. Administration.
 
    (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee appointed
  by the Board (the "Committee"). The Board may from time to time remove
  members from or add members to the Committee. Vacancies on the Committee,
  however caused, shall be filled by the Board. Acts taken or approved by a
  majority of the Committee at which a quorum is present, or acts approved in
  writing by all members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the
  Committee. The Plan shall be administered in a manner that assures all
  participants the same rights and privileges.
 
    (b) The administration, interpretation or application of the Plan by the
  Board or its Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all
  participants. Members of the Board or the Committee who are eligible
  Employees are permitted to participate in the Plan.
 
    (c) No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any
  action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any
  option granted under it. In addition to such other rights of
  indemnification as they may have as directors or as members of the
  Committee, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the
  Corporation against the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees
  actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any
  action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to
  which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or
  failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any option granted
  thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof
  (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected
  by the Corporation) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any
  such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which
  it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee
  member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his
  duties; provided that within sixty (60) days after institution of any such
  action, suit or proceeding the Committee member seeking indemnification
  shall in writing offer the Corporation the opportunity, at its own expense,
  to handle and defend the same.
 
    (d) All costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan shall be
  paid by the Corporation. The Board or the Committee, if any is appointed,
  may request advice or assistance or employ such other persons as are
  necessary for proper administration of the Plan.
 
  14. Designation of Beneficiary.
 
    (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is
  to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account
  under the Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to the
  Purchase Date but prior to delivery to him of such shares and cash. In
  addition, a participant may file a
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
  written designation of beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the
  participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's
  death prior to the Purchase Date.
 
    (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at
  any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant in
  the absence of a valid designation of a beneficiary who is living at the
  time of such participant's death, the Corporation shall deliver such shares
  and/or cash in accordance with the participant's designation of
  beneficiaries under the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Deferred Profit
  Sharing Plan; or, in the absence of such designation, to the executor or
  administrator of the estate of the participant; or if no such executor or
  administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Corporation), the
  Corporation, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the
  spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant; or
  if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Corporation, then to
  such other person as the Corporation may designate.
 
  15. Transferability. Neither payroll deduction credited to a participant's
account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive
shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution, or as provided in paragraph 14 hereof) by the participant. Any
such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition, shall be
void and without effect, except that the Corporation may treat such act as an
election to withdraw funds in accordance with paragraph 10.
 
  16. Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Corporation
under the Plan may be used by the Corporation for any corporate purpose, and
the Corporation shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.
 
  17. Statements. Statements of account will be given to participating
employees promptly following each Purchase Date, which statements will set
forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the per share purchase price, the
number of shares purchased and any excess contributions.
 
  18. Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any stock dividend, stock
split, spin-off, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares
or the like, the number of shares then subject to option and the number of
authorized shares remaining available to be sold shall be increased or
decreased appropriately, with such other adjustment as may be deemed necessary
or equitable by the Board.
 
  19. Amendment. The Board of Directors may at any time amend the Plan. No
such amendment may make any change in any option previously granted which
adversely affects the rights of any participant without such participant's
consent. No amendment for which stockholder approval is required shall be
effective unless such approval is obtained within the required time period.
Whether stockholder approval is required shall be determined by the Committee
and consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 16b-3 (or its
successor), the Code or the stock exchange(s) on which the Corporation's
shares are listed, as such rules are in effect at the time the plan amendment
becomes effective.
 
  20. Termination. The Board of Directors of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. may
at any time terminate the Plan. No such termination will affect options
previously granted. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan shall
terminate February 1, 2001.
 
  21. Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the
Corporation in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly
given when received in the form specified by the Corporation at the location,
or by the person, designated by the Corporation for the receipt thereof.
 
  22. Government and Other Regulations. The Plan, and the grant and exercise
of the rights to purchase shares hereunder, and the Corporation's obligation
to sell and deliver shares upon the exercise of rights to purchase shares,
shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and
regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or government agency as
may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be required. Any
amendments requiring stockholder approval shall take effect only subject to
such approval.
 
  23. Applicable Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this
Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
