    * The Company presents "Adjusted EBITDA" as a supplemental measure of   
    its performance. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company is determined by       
    adjusting operating income (loss) for depreciation and amortization,    
    employee stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired  
    intangible assets.In addition, the Company also included the following  
    adjustments for the applicable period: for the fourth quarter of 2012,  
    the Company also included adjustments for the lower of cost or market   
    charge (LCM Charge) related to GF take-or-pay obligation and net        
    restructuring charges; for the third quarter of 2012 and the fourth     
    quarter of 2011, the Company also included an adjustment for net        
    restructuring charges; for 2012, the Company also included adjustments  
    for the LCM Charge, a charge related to the limited waiver of           
    exclusivity from GF, a legal settlement with a third party, net         
    restructuring charges and costs related to the acquisition of SeaMicro; 
    and for 2011, the Company also included adjustments related to a        
    payment to GF, a legal settlement with a third party and net            
    restructuring charges. The Company calculates and communicates Adjusted 
    EBITDA in the financial schedules because the Company's management      
    believes it is of importance to investors and lenders in relation to    
    its overall capital structure and its ability to borrow additional      
    funds. In addition, the Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because it     
    believes this measure assists investors in comparing its performance    
    across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that  
    the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating       
    performance. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may    
    not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other         
    companies in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted      
    EBITDA as an alternative to the GAAP operating measure of operating     
    income (loss) or GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating,  
    investing and financing activities. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does   
    not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well 
    as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows.                
                                                                            
    ** The Company also presents non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow in the    
    earnings release as a supplemental measure of its performance. In 2008  
    and 2009, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively,    
    the "AMD Parties") entered into supplier agreements with IBM Credit LLC 
    and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "IBM Parties").      
    Pursuant to these supplier agreements, the AMD Parties sold to the IBM  
    Parties invoices of selected distributor customers. Because the Company 
    does not recognize revenue until its distributors sell its products to  
    their customers, under GAAP, the Company classified funds received from 
    the IBM Parties as debt on the balance sheet. Moreover, for cash flow   
    purposes, these funds were classified as cash flows from financing      
    activities. When a distributor paid the applicable IBM Party, the       
    Company reduced the distributor's accounts receivable and the           
    corresponding debt resulted in a noncash accounting entry. Because the  
    Company did not receive the cash from the distributor to reduce the     
    accounts receivable, the distributor's payment was not reflected in the 
    Company's cash flows from operating activities. Non-GAAP adjusted free  
    cash flow for the Company was determined by adding the distributors'    
    payments to the IBM Parties to GAAP net cash provided by (used in)      
    operating activities. This amount was then further adjusted by          
    subtracting capital expenditures. Generally, under GAAP, the reduction  
    in accounts receivable is assumed to be a source of operating cash      
    flows. Therefore, the Company believes that treating the payments from  
    its distributor customers to the IBM Parties as if the Company actually 
    received the cash from the distributor and then used that cash to pay   
    down the debt is more reflective of the economic substance of the       
    transaction. On February 11, 2011, the Company terminated its supplier  
    agreements with IBM Parties. As a result, as of the end of the second   
    quarter of 2011, there were no outstanding invoices relating to the     
    financing arrangement with the IBM Parties, and starting from the third 
    quarter of 2011, the Company no longer makes quarterly adjustments for  
    distributors' payments to the IBM Parties to its GAAP net cash provided 
    by (used in) operating activities when calculating non-GAAP adjusted    
    free cash flow. The Company calculates and communicates non-GAAP        
    adjusted free cash flow in the financial schedules because the          
    Company's management believes it is of importance to investors to       
    understand the nature of these cash flows. The Company's calculation of 
    non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow may or may not be consistent with the  
    calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry.    
    Investors should not view non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow as an        
    alternative to GAAP liquidity measures of cash flows from operating or  
    financing activities. The Company has provided reconciliations within   
    the press release and financial schedules of these non-GAAP financial   
    measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
