PLATFORMS

-New AMD Athlon(tm) MP processor 2100+ designed to
provide commercial users with stability and reliability for dual processor
server and workstation platform-

SUNNYVALE, CA-JUNE 19, 2002-AMD today introduced the AMD
Athlon(tm) MP processor 2100+, a high-performance multiprocessor designed to
provide the reliability demanded by server and workstation environments. With
its QuantiSpeed(tm) architecture and Smart MP technology, the AMD Athlon MP
processor 2100+ can integrate smoothly into existing infrastructures, providing
the stability and manageability that IT managers require.

"The business world demands reliable, compatible and
manageable processors that give the performance businesses need for peak
productivity," said Ed Ellett, vice president of marketing for AMD's Computation
Products Group. "AMD is committed to providing customers with solutions that
meet and exceed the demands of businesses and IT managers. This high-performance
processor, the AMD Athlon MP processor 2100+, with AMD's Socket A interface and
the AMD-760(tm) MPX chipset, gives IT managers the toolset they need to run
their networks easily and efficiently."

"AMD Athlon MP processors are a key factor in providing
the performance and throughput needed to keep our productivity at the highest
possible level," said Mike Lawson, president of Artistpro.com, a California
company that creates and manages traditional and new media publishing properties
and custom publishing services for the professional music and audio industry.
"We've had tremendous 'uptime' with AMD Athlon MP processors in our servers, and
our customers can search for data and download information much more quickly
than previously."

The AMD Athlon MP processor 2100+ is designed to be
compatible with Microsoft® Windows® and multiple Linux operating systems and to
enhance the performance of the world's most popular server and workstation
applications. AMD's customer-centric approach means that end-users can rely on
their servers to run mission-critical email, exchange, file, print and
networking applications. AMD Athlon MP processor 2100+-based workstations
running digital content creation (DCC), computer-aided design (CAD) and software
development applications can execute quickly and efficiently.

AMD's Socket A processor interface is an important
component in AMD's support for the commercial market. Socket A provides the
long-term stability and compatibility of a single platform, which can help lower
total cost of ownership by enabling consistency across the infrastructure and
decreasing platform turnover.

In addition, the AMD-760(tm) MPX chipset, compatible
with all AMD Athlon MP processors, provides high-speed peripheral connections
for enhanced productivity. The chipset is featured on motherboards from a
variety of manufacturers worldwide.

Availability

Systems featuring the AMD Athlon MP processor 2100+ are
expected to be available immediately from more than 34 manufacturers worldwide.
