                       AMD REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

     SUNNYVALE, CA--OCTOBER 6, 1999--AMD today reported sales of $662,192,000
and a net loss of $105,545,000, or $0.72 per share, for the third quarter, ended
September 26, 1999.

     Led by increased sales of AMD Athlon (TM) processors and flash memory
products, sales increased by 11 percent from the immediate-prior quarter, while
declining by 3 percent from the third quarter of 1998. Results from the
immediate-prior quarter and the third quarter of 1998 include sales of Vantis
Corporation, the AMD programmable logic subsidiary that was sold during the
second quarter of 1999. Sales for AMD continuing product groups - the
Computation Products Group, Communications Group, and Memory Group - were up 16
percent from the immediate-prior quarter, while up 1 percent from the third
quarter of 1998.

     In the immediate-prior quarter, AMD reported sales of $595,109,000 and net
income of $79,896,000, or $0.53 per diluted share. The company's second-quarter
results reflected an operating loss of $172,542,000, a one-time after-tax gain
of $259,236,000 from the sale of the Vantis, and restructuring and other special
charges of $17,514,000. Excluding the one-time gain and the restructuring and
other special charges, results would have been a net loss of $161,826,000, or
$1.10 per share for the quarter ended June 27, 1999.

     In the third quarter of 1998, AMD reported sales of $685,927,000, which
resulted in net income of $1,006,000, or $0.01 per diluted share.

     For the first nine months of 1999, AMD reported total sales of
$1,888,894,000, which resulted in a net loss of $154,016,000, or $1.05 per
share. In the first nine months of 1998, AMD reported total sales of
$1,753,321,000, and a net loss of $126,281,000, or $0.88 per share.

     "Sharply higher sales of flash memories and sales of AMD Athlon processors
at higher margins than those experienced on AMD-K6(R) family processors
combined to boost revenues smartly and cut our operating loss by more than $70
million compared to the immediate-prior quarter," said W.J. Sanders III,
chairman and chief executive officer.

     "Flash memory sales grew by 28 percent over the immediate-prior quarter.
Flash memory demand is very strong and continues to outstrip our ability to
supply, even as we increase production capacity.

     "Unit sales of Microsoft Windows compatible processors grew by more than 20
percent over the immediate-prior quarter to more than 4.5 million units,"
Sanders continued.

     "Limited AMD Athlon motherboard availability during the third quarter was
exacerbated by the Taiwan earthquake on September 21, which shut off motherboard
shipments in the final week of our quarter. In spite of this, unit sales of AMD
Athlon processors attained the hundreds of thousands level.

     "Demand for AMD Athlon processors from both our OEM customers and end-users
has been very strong. Technical reviews have been outstanding, reflecting the
clear superiority of the AMD Athlon processor over the Intel Pentium III
processor on all important and relevant benchmarks. With this week's
introduction of the 700-MHz AMD Athlon processor, AMD continues to set the
performance standard for Microsoft Windows PCs.

     "Our operational performance last quarter was excellent. Accordingly, we
are highly confident that we can produce more than one million AMD Athlon
processors in the current quarter. In the face of strong demand, unit sales are
expected to be gated by infrastructure support limitations resulting from the
continuing effects of the Taiwan earthquake. The most critical items are the
motherboards themselves and the components that populate them. Based on all of
the currently available information, we believe we still have a good chance of
achieving our pre-earthquake goal of cumulative sales of one million AMD Athlon
processors by year-end," Sanders concluded.

Cautionary Statement

     This release contains forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward-looking statements are generally preceded by words such as
"plans," "expects," "believes," "anticipates" or "intends." Investors are
cautioned that all forward-looking statements in this release involve risks and
uncertainty that could cause actual results to differ materially from current
expectations. Forward-looking statements in this release involve the risk that
third parties may not provide infrastructure solutions to support the AMD Athlon
processor in a timely manner to allow the company to meet its unit sales goals,
that infrastructure support limitations resulting from the continuing effects of
the Taiwan earthquake will worsen, that the company will not be able to produce
the AMD Athlon processor in the volume necessary to meet its goals, that the AMD
Athlon will not achieve customer and market acceptance; and, that demand for
flash memory products will not continue at current or greater levels.  We urge
investors to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in the company's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
