2018 CES – Building on the global enthusiasm
generated in 2017 by Ryzen™ processors and Radeon™ graphics
technology, AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today detailed its forthcoming
roll-out plan for its new and next generation of high-performance
computing and graphics products during an event in Las Vegas just
prior to the opening of CES 2018. Alongside announcing the first
desktop Ryzen™ processors with built-in Radeon™ Vega Graphics, AMD
also detailed the full line up of Ryzen™ mobile APUs including the
new Ryzen™ PRO and Ryzen™ 3 models, and provided a first look at
the performance of its upcoming 12nm 2nd generation Ryzen™ desktop
CPU expected to launch in April. In graphics, AMD announced the
expansion of the “Vega” family with Radeon Vega Mobile and that its
first 7nm product is planned to be a Radeon “Vega” GPU specifically
built for machine learning applications.
“We successfully accomplished the ambitious goals we set for
ourselves in 2017, reestablishing AMD as a high-performance
computing leader with the introduction and ramp of 10 different
product families,” said AMD President and CEO Dr. Lisa Su. “We are
building on this momentum in 2018 as we make our strongest product
portfolio of the last decade even stronger with new CPUs and GPUs
that bring more features and more performance to a broad set of
markets.”
Technology UpdatesAMD CTO and SVP Mark
Papermaster shared updates on AMD’s process technology roadmaps for
both x86 processors and graphics architectures.
- x86 Processors- The “Zen” core, currently shipping in Ryzen
desktop and mobile processors, is in production at both 14nm and
12nm, with 12nm samples now shipping.- The “Zen 2” design is
complete and will improve on the award-winning “Zen” design in
multiple dimensions.
- Graphics Processors- Expanding the “Vega” product family in
2018 with the Radeon Vega Mobile GPU for ultrathin notebooks.- The
first 7nm AMD product, a “Vega” based GPU built specifically for

Cautionary Statement
This press release contains forward-looking
statements concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) including
the features, functionality, availability, timing, expectations and
expected benefits of AMD future products, including AMD’s
desktop Ryzen™ CPUs with built-in Radeon™ Vega GPUs, Ryzen™ mobile
APUs including Ryzen™ PRO and Ryzen™ 3 CPUs, 12nm 2nd generation
Ryzen™ desktop CPUs, Radeon Vega Mobile GPUs and AMD’s 7nm product
with a Radeon “Vega” based GPU; AMD’s X86 processors technology
roadmap; and AMD’s graphics processors technology roadmap, which
are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements are commonly identified by words such as "would,"
"intends," "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks,"
"intends," "plans," "pro forma," "estimates," "anticipates," or the
negative of these words and phrases, other variations of these
words and phrases or comparable terminology. Investors are
cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this document are
based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only
as of the date of this document and involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from current
expectations. Such statements are subject to certain known and
unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to
predict and generally beyond AMD's control, that could cause actual
results and other future events to differ materially from those
expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking
information and statements. Material factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations
include, without limitation, the following: Intel Corporation’s
dominance of the microprocessor market and its aggressive business
practices may limit AMD’s ability to compete effectively; AMD has a
wafer supply agreement with GF with obligations to purchase all of
its microprocessor and APU product requirements, and a certain
portion of its GPU product requirements, from GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc.
(GF) with limited exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s
manufacturing requirements, its business could be adversely
impacted; AMD relies on third parties to manufacture its products,
and if they are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient
quantities and using competitive technologies, AMD’s business could
be materially adversely affected; failure to achieve expected
manufacturing yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its
financial results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon
its ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features
and performance levels that provide value to its customers while
supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if
AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or
obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be
unable to make all of its planned investments in research and
development or other strategic investments; the loss of a
significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD;
AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is
dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party
products and the success of those products; global economic
uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and operating
results; the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly
competitive; AMD may not be able to generate sufficient cash to
service its debt obligations or meet its working capital
requirements; AMD has a large amount of indebtedness which could
adversely affect its financial position and prevent it from
implementing its strategy or fulfilling its contractual
obligations; the agreements governing AMD’s notes and the Secured
Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD that may
adversely affect its ability to operate its business; AMD's
issuance to West Coast Hitech L.P. (WCH) of warrants to purchase 75
million shares of its common stock, if and when exercised, will
dilute the ownership interests of its existing stockholders, and
the conversion of the 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 may
dilute the ownership interest of its existing stockholders, or may
otherwise depress the price of its common stock; uncertainties
involving the ordering and shipment of AMD’s products could
materially adversely affect it; the demand for AMD’s products
depends in part on the market conditions in the industries into
which they are sold. Fluctuations in demand for AMD’s products or a
market decline in any of these industries could have a material
adverse effect on its results of operations; AMD’s ability to
design and introduce new products in a timely manner is dependent
upon third-party intellectual property; AMD depends on third-party
companies for the design, manufacture and supply of motherboards,
software and other computer platform components to support its
business; if AMD loses Microsoft Corporation’s support for its
products or other software vendors do not design and develop
software to run on AMD’s products, its ability to sell its products
could be materially adversely affected; and AMD’s reliance on
third-party distributors and AIB partners subjects it to certain
risks. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and
uncertainties in AMD's Securities and Exchange Commission filings,
including but not limited to AMD's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
