AMD COMMENTS ON INTEL'S ANSWER TO AMD'S U.S. FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT ANTITRUST COMPLAINT

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Sept. 1, 2005 - AMD (NYSE: AMD) released the
following statement today regarding Intel Corporation's answer to AMD's
complaint filed in U.S. federal district court in the district of
Delaware on June 27, 2005, which asserts that Intel committed illegal
antitrust violations to exclude competition.

"Intel's response is not surprising considering what they are trying to
hide, but the facts of illegal monopoly abuse are clear and undeniable,"
said Thomas M. McCoy, AMD executive vice president, legal affairs and
chief administrative officer. "Intel's anticompetitive business
practices are under intense scrutiny by governments around the world.
The Fair Trade Commission of Japan found Intel guilty of antitrust
violations that harmed consumers based on direct evidence, and still
Intel refuses to acknowledge wrongdoing. Intel's illicit conduct forces
customers and consumers to pay artificially higher prices and limits
their ability to choose the best products available."


On June 27th, AMD filed an antitrust lawsuit against Intel under Section
2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, and Sections 4 and 16 of the Clayton
Act, as well as the California Business and Professions Code. The
complaint addresses how Intel has unlawfully maintained its x86
microprocessor market monopoly by engaging in worldwide coercion of
customers to refrain from dealing with AMD. To view the full text of
the complaint, visit http://www.amd.com/breakfree.

"We look forward to presenting our evidence in front of the entire
industry and the entire world. Let's put the truth on the table and let
the court decide," McCoy continued.

The Japanese Government recognized Intel's competitive harms on March 8,
2005, when its Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) recommended that Intel be
sanctioned for its exclusionary misconduct directed at AMD. Intel chose
not to contest the charges. AMD Japan also filed two claims against
Intel K.K., its Japanese subsidiary, in the Tokyo High Court and Tokyo
District Court for antitrust violations.

Additionally, the European Commission - in coordination with national
competition authorities - recently raided Intel offices across Europe,
as well as a number of other IT firms manufacturing or selling
computers, as part of its ongoing investigation into Intel for antitrust
violations.

South Korean antitrust authorities are also investigating the marketing
and rebate practices of Intel. They have conducted preliminary
investigations into five South Korean PC makers supplied by Intel for
the case and asked Intel to provide related documents by the end of
August.
