SUNNYVALE, Calif. - May 12, 2008 - AMD (NYSE: AMD) today
announced several organizational and executive changes as part of the
company's ongoing efforts to re-architect its business for sustained
profitability.

"We are accelerating AMD's transformation, reshaping the
organization and bolstering our management team to lead in our x86
microprocessor and graphics businesses," said Dirk Meyer, AMD president
and COO. "Placing experienced leaders in new, more focused roles will
enhance our execution and progress towards sustained profitability and
long-term success. The creation of a Centralized Engineering
organization aligns and focuses AMD's world-class engineers and
intellectual property portfolio on the strong business opportunities in
front of us."

In his new role as Senior Vice President, Computing Solutions
Group, Randy Allen reports into President and COO Dirk Meyer and is
responsible for the development and management of AMD's broad and
growing portfolio of consumer and commercial microprocessor solutions
and platforms. The twenty-four year AMD veteran was most recently
responsible for AMD's Server
and Workstation business and previously oversaw microprocessor
engineering for the company, including the successful introductions of
the AMD Opteron(tm) and AMD Athlon(tm) 64 processors.

The newly formed Central Engineering organization will be co-led
by Chekib Akrout, who is joining AMD, and Jeff VerHeul, corporate vice
president of design engineering at AMD. The Central Engineering
leadership team will direct the development and execution of AMD's
technology and product roadmaps in partnership with AMD's business units
and will report directly to Dirk Meyer.

Akrout is joining AMD after serving as vice president of design
technology at Freescale Semiconductor. Prior to Freescale, Akrout
worked at IBM and managed the development of a wide range of products
including microprocessors, application specific integrated circuits
(ASICs) and mixed signal devices. He was responsible for IBM's work on
the development of the Cell processor, the Xbox 360 processor for
Microsoft, and embedded PowerPC cores.

VerHeul joined AMD in August 2005 after a twenty-five year career
with IBM. Most recently, he led the AMD's microprocessor design
engineering organization.

AMD also promoted Allen Sockwell to senior vice president, human
resources and Chief Talent Officer responsible for developing AMD's
leadership assets and employee talent.
As part of these management changes, Mario Rivas, formerly
executive vice president, Computing Solutions Group and Michel Cadieux,
formerly senior vice president and Chief Talent Officer, have left AMD
to pursue new opportunities.
