AMD SERVES UP FOUR-WAY MULTIPROCESSING DEMO AT COMPUTEX
TAIPEI 2002

- AMD's future eighth-generation AMD Opteron(tm)
processors will bring 64-bit computing choice to enterprise customers -

TAIPEI, TAIWAN-JUNE 3, 2002-At Computex Taipei 2002, AMD
(NYSE: AMD) today demonstrated a four-way multiprocessing server, based on its
upcoming eighth-generation AMD Opteron(tm) processor. The demo marks the
first-ever public showing of a four-way multiprocessing platform by AMD, and
illustrates AMD's unwavering commitment to the 64-bit server market.

Systems based on AMD's four to eight-way multiprocessing
platform will be suitable for all enterprise-class workloads. AMD has resolved
to provide businesses a platform to help them grow into the 64-bit future,
without abandoning the productive and valuable investments they have already
made in their 32-bit environments.

"What a difference a year makes," said Ed Ellett, vice
president of marketing for AMD's Computational Products Group. "One year ago, we
introduced our first-ever multiprocessor designed for the commercial market.
Today, we're demonstrating a four-way product that will enable us to exceed the
needs of even more enterprise users in the future. With this upcoming product,
enterprises will have, for the first time, a choice of x86-based, four to
eight-way servers for their critical e-business and database applications."

AMD's server demonstration, containing four AMD Opteron
processors, ran a 32-bit Web server on top of a 64-bit SuSE Linux operating
system and served Web pages to an eighth-generation AMD Athlon(tm)
processor-based machine.

AMD has previously shown single and dual-processor
configurations of its eighth-generation processor family, running both 32-bit
and 64-bit operating systems, including a developmental version of 64-bit
Microsoft® Windows®. Microsoft Corporation. is collaborating with AMD to
incorporate 64-bit support for the eighth-generation AMD Athlon and AMD Opteron
processors into the Windows operating system. Together, AMD's next-generation
processors and Windows are designed to provide customers a flexible, compatible
and reliable platform.

AMD continues to hit developmental milestones for its
next-generation processors, as shown by today's demonstration, and continues to
build industry momentum for its upcoming product family.

The AMD Opteron processor is designed to scale from one
to eight processors with no external logic required. This can aid system
designers by reducing the cost and complexity of building servers and
workstations. It can also aid customers by reducing cost and increasing server
scalability.

Shipments of the AMD Opteron processor are planned to
begin in the first half of 2003.

About the AMD Opteron(tm) Processor

The AMD Opteron processor is based on AMD's
eighth-generation processor core, which is planned to mark the introduction of
the industry's first x86-64 technology implementation. This technology is
planned to preserve companies' investments in 32-bit applications, while
allowing a seamless transition to 64-bit computing, as those companies require.
The AMD Opteron processor is designed to deliver high-performance server and
workstation solutions for today's most demanding enterprise applications. The
processor is designed to be scalable, reliable and compatible, which can result
in lower total cost of ownership. Key AMD Opteron processor innovations include
an integrated memory controller, which reduces memory bottlenecks, and
HyperTransport(tm) technology, which increases overall performance by removing
or reducing I/O bottlenecks, increasing bandwidth and reducing latency.
