                     AMD ACHIEVES RECORD SALES AND BOOKINGS
                         AS IT RETURNS TO PROFITABILITY
                                        

     SUNNYVALE, CA - October 6, 1998 - Led by substantial growth in sales of 
AMD-K6(R)-2 processors with 3DNow!(TM) technology, AMD today reported record
sales of $685,927,000 during its third quarter, ended September 27, 1998, which
resulted in net income of $1,006,000, or $0.01 per share.

     Sales increased by 30 percent from the immediate-prior quarter, and by 15
percent from the like period of 1997.

     In the immediate-prior quarter, AMD reported a net loss of $64,560,000 on
sales of $526,538,000, which resulted in a net loss of $0.45 per share. In the
like period of 1997, AMD reported a net loss of $31,675,000 on sales of
$596,644,000.  The net loss amounted to $0.22 per share.

     For the first nine months of 1998, the company reported total sales of
$1,753,321,000, which resulted in a net loss of $126,281,000, or $0.88 per
share. For the first nine months of 1997, AMD reported total sales of
$1,743,204,000, which resulted in a net loss of $8,756,000, or $0.06 per share.

     "AMD achieved record sales and returned to nominal profitability on rapid
market acceptance of our AMD-K6-2 processor with 3DNow! technology," said W.J.
Sanders III, chairman and chief executive officer. "This product, introduced on
May 28, 1998, was the largest contributor to the substantial increase in sales
of our Microsoft(R) Windows(R) compatible AMD-K6 processor family.

     "Shipments of AMD-K6 family processors increased by more than one million
units to 3.8 million units, and AMD-K6 family processor sales increased by 70
percent over the immediate-prior quarter. Excellent manufacturing and sales
execution enabled AMD to return to profitability one quarter ahead of
expectations.

     "We are extremely pleased by the strong demand in the retail channel for
personal computers powered by AMD-K6-2 processors," Sanders continued.
"According to PC Data, systems powered by AMD-K6 family processors captured 31
percent of the total U.S. retail market for desktop systems in August, the
latest period for which data are available. In the rapidly growing market for
sub-$1,000 systems, PCs powered by AMD-K6 family processors captured a 54
percent market share - the highest penetration we have achieved to date.  The
highest-volume desktop system sold in the United States retail channel in August
was a system powered by an AMD-K6-2 processor with 3DNow! technology, even
surpassing sales of Apple Computer's successful iMac system.

     "During the quarter, we introduced and shipped hundreds of thousands of our
350MHz AMD-K6-2 processors," Sanders continued. "With the availability of these
higher-performance devices, AMD now has very attractive products for the
mainstream desktop market: systems priced at $1,500 and below, which comprise 80
percent of the U.S. retail desktop personal computer market.

     "During the quarter we also introduced a 300MHz AMD-K6 processor for mobile
applications. The AMD-K6/300 has a clock speed matching the highest-speed mobile
processor on the market.

     "In the face of continuing intense price pressures and weak overall
industry demand, we were able to maintain flat sales compared to the immediate-
prior quarter in the aggregate for our Communications Group, our Memory Group,
and Vantis, our programmable logic subsidiary," said Sanders.

     "On the strength of demand for AMD-K6 family processors, total third-
quarter company bookings achieved a record level," Sanders concluded.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

     Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements of management's
expectations involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations.

     Any forward-looking statements about AMD-K6 family processors involve risks
and uncertainties, including: whether the company will be able to maintain or
increase output of higher-performance AMD-K6-2 processors; whether customer
demand for AMD-K6 family processors will continue at current or greater levels;
whether uncertain worldwide economic conditions, including the economic
conditions in Asia, will result in decreased demand for microprocessors and
other integrated circuits; and whether as a result of industry conditions or for
other reasons customers will cancel currently booked orders or decrease their
placement of orders in the future. Investors are urged to consult the risks and
uncertainties detailed in the company's reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
