<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
&#147;SEC&#148;) using a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may from time to time offer to sell the notes and other securities issued under such registration statement in one or more offerings. We
provide information to you about this offering of the notes in two separate documents that are bound together: (1)&nbsp;this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details regarding this offering; and (2)&nbsp;the accompanying
prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this &#147;prospectus,&#148; we are referring to both documents combined. If information in this prospectus supplement is
inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on this prospectus supplement. However, if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date&#151;for example, a document
incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus&#151;the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement as our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed
since the earlier dates. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents and information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus
that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering when making your investment decision. You should also read and consider the information in the documents we have referred you to under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More
Information; Incorporation by Reference.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide any information other than that
contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or in any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We and the underwriters take no
responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer
to buy any securities other than the notes described in this prospectus supplement or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. You should assume that the
information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectus is accurate only as of
their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed materially since those dates. </P>

statement, do not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement or the exhibits and schedules which are part of the registration statement. For further information about us and the notes offered, see the registration
statement and the exhibits and schedules thereto. Statements contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus regarding the contents of any contract or any other document to which reference is made are not necessarily complete,

automatically update and supersede that information. Any statement contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or a previously filed document incorporated by reference will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes
of this prospectus supplement to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus supplement or a subsequently filed document incorporated by reference modifies or replaces that statement. Any statements so modified or superseded shall not

</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August&nbsp;17, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire ZT Systems, a provider of AI and general-purpose compute infrastructure for
hyperscale computing companies, in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $4.9&nbsp;billion (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;). Upon closing of the Acquisition, we will pay approximately $3.4&nbsp;billion in cash and issue 8,335,852 shares
of the Company&#146;s common stock, and to the extent certain conditions are met, we will pay up to an additional $300&nbsp;million of cash and up to 740,964 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. The Acquisition is expected to close in the
first half of fiscal year 2025, subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We intend to seek an acquiror to purchase the ZT Systems manufacturing business, which accounts for &#147;substantially all&#148; of the
revenue-generating business of ZT Systems, and retain a substantial portion of its intellectual property and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-manufacturing</FONT> personnel. If we are unsuccessful in selling the ZT Systems manufacturing business
or any such sale is not completed promptly, it would likely have an adverse effect on our gross margins. In its most recent fiscal year, ZT Systems&#146; revenue was more than forty percent but less than fifty percent of our fiscal 2024 revenue, and
ZT Systems&#146; gross margin was substantially lower than ours given the nature of its manufacturing business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect to issue unsecured commercial

refinance or obtain consents from the holders of such indebtedness. Our failure to purchase your notes upon a change of control triggering event would be an event of default under the indenture and could cause a cross-default or acceleration under
certain agreements governing our other indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Agreement and our existing senior notes. In addition, the change of control itself could constitute an event of default under certain agreements governing our other

active trading market develops, the market price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected, and you may not be able to resell your notes at their fair market value, at the initial offering price or at all. If a market for the notes
develops, any such market may be discontinued at any time. If a trading market develops for the notes, future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, our operating results,
the liquidity of the issue, the market for similar securities and other factors, including our financial condition and prospects and the financial condition and prospects of our industry. In particular, if prevailing interest rates increase, the
market price of the notes would be adversely affected. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the value of the notes.

Consequently, if you purchase the notes and market interest rates increase, the market value of your notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates. </P>

us, our operating results or other events could cause these rating agencies to downgrade, place on negative watch, withdraw their ratings or change their outlook on our debt credit rating generally and the ratings on the notes in particular, which
could adversely impact the trading prices for, or the liquidity of, the notes. Any such downgrade, placement on negative watch or change in outlook could also adversely affect our cost of borrowing, limit our access to the capital markets or result
in more restrictive covenants in future debt agreements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The credit ratings assigned to the notes may not reflect all risks of an investment in the

due. Consequently, actual or anticipated changes in these credit ratings will generally affect the market value of the notes. These credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to structure, market, or other factors
related to the value of the notes. Any rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold the notes, and does not correspond to market prices or suitability for a particular investor. </P>

property or the capital stock of certain subsidiaries, to secure certain indebtedness and to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions with respect to principal property, and our ability to consolidate or merge with, or sell, convey or
lease all or substantially all our assets to another person. The covenants limiting liens and sale and leaseback transactions contain exceptions that will allow us and our subsidiaries to incur liens with respect to material assets. See
&#147;Description of Notes&#151;Certain Covenants&#148; in this prospectus supplement. In light of these exceptions and other factors described above, the notes may be effectively subordinated to new secured indebtedness or subsidiary indebtedness.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The following description of the particular terms of the senior notes due 20&#8195;(the &#147;20&#8195;notes&#148;) and the senior notes due 20&#8195;(the
&#147;20&#8195;notes&#148; and, together with the 20&#8195;notes, the &#147;notes&#148;) offered hereby supplements and, to the extent inconsistent with, supersedes the description of the general terms and provisions of debt securities set forth
under &#147;Description of Debt Securities&#148; in the accompanying prospectus. This &#147;Description of Notes&#148; section, together with the &#147;Description of Debt Securities&#148; section of the accompanying prospectus, together are only a
summary of certain terms of the notes offered hereby and do not purport to be complete. The notes will be issued under and governed by the indenture, dated as of June&nbsp;9, 2022, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture to be dated as of the
initial issue date of the notes (as so supplemented, the &#147;indenture&#148;). U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association will act as trustee under the indenture (the &#147;trustee&#148;). The following description is subject to, and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to, the indenture, including definitions therein of certain terms. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>As used in the following description,
the terms &#147;Advanced Micro Devices,&#148; &#147;AMD,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;us&#148; and the &#147;Company&#148; refer to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and not any of its subsidiaries, unless the
context requires otherwise. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>We urge you to read the indenture (including definitions of terms used therein) because it, and not this description,
defines your rights as a beneficial holder of the notes. A form of the indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part. You may also request copies
of the indenture from us at our address set forth under &#147;Where You can Find More Information&#148; in the accompanying prospectus. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General

trustee will act as registrar, paying agent and authenticating agent. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The 20&#8195;notes will initially be limited to
$&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;aggregate principal amount and will mature on&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;, 20&#8195;. The 20&#8195;notes will initially be limited to $&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;aggregate principal amount and will mature
on&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;, 20&#8195;. The notes will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 with any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The notes will be senior unsecured
obligations of Advanced Micro Devices and will be equal in right of payment with all of AMD&#146;s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including our existing senior notes and any future borrowings under our Revolving Credit
Agreement. The notes will be senior in right of payment to our future indebtedness, if any, that by its terms is expressly subordinated or junior in right of payment to the notes, and effectively subordinated in right of payment to our existing and
future secured indebtedness, if any, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. As of December&nbsp;28, 2024, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to this offering, we would have had consolidated indebtedness of
$&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;billion (excluding intercompany obligations and liabilities of a type not required to be reflected on a balance sheet in accordance with GAAP), all of which would have been equal in right of payment with each series of
notes, and we had no secured indebtedness outstanding. As discussed below, the indenture for the notes does not restrict us from incurring any unsecured indebtedness, and will permit us to incur additional secured indebtedness subject to the
limitations summarized below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and thus will be structurally subordinated in right of payment
to all existing and future indebtedness or other liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries. As of December&nbsp;28, 2024, our subsidiaries had approximately $750&nbsp;million of indebtedness and approximately $9.4&nbsp;billion of
other liabilities outstanding (excluding intercompany obligations and liabilities of a type not required to be reflected on a balance sheet in accordance with GAAP). As discussed below, the indenture for the notes does not restrict our subsidiaries
from incurring additional indebtedness. The notes are not subject to, and do not have the benefit of, any sinking fund. </P>

Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;), in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a
manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that
discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This discussion is limited to holders who hold
the notes as &#147;capital assets&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). In addition, this discussion is limited to persons purchasing the notes for cash at original issue and at their
original &#147;issue price&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1273 of the Code (<I>i.e.</I>, the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold to the public for cash). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income
tax consequences relevant to a holder&#146;s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules,

imposed on payments of interest on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, a note paid to a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; or a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-financial</FONT> foreign entity&#148; (each as defined in the Code), unless (1)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (2)&nbsp;the <FONT

owner, or (3)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the
diligence and reporting requirements in (1)&nbsp;above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain &#147;specified United States

withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of a note on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds
entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prospective investors should

Specifically, the underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering of the notes, creating a syndicate short position. In addition, the underwriters may bid for and purchase notes in the open market to cover syndicate short positions or to
stabilize the prices of the notes. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market prices of the notes above what it would be in the absence of such activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities, and
they may end any of them at any time. We and the underwriters make no representation as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of the notes. In addition, we and the underwriters make

investment, hedging, financing, brokerage and corporate trust activities. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates and associates have, from time to time, performed and may in the future perform, various commercial and investment banking and
financial advisory services for us and our subsidiaries, for which they received or may in the future receive customary fees and expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates
may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such
investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and
certain other of those underwriters may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which
consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading
prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold,
or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain of the underwriters and their

issuer&#148; as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, using a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell securities from time to time and in one or more offerings as
described in this prospectus. Each time that we offer and sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that
offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information relating to these offerings. The prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add, update or change
information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus
supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement (and any applicable free writing prospectuses), together with the
additional information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have not authorized

permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on its respective cover, that the information appearing in any applicable free
writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date of that free writing prospectus, and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. This prospectus incorporates by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference,

entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Common stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, in an uncontested
election, holders of a majority of the voting shares are able to elect all of the directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Dividends </I></B></P>

any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds. However, the terms of our borrowing arrangements restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock in certain circumstances.
Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of common stock. Declaration and payment of any dividend are subject to the discretion of the board of directors. Before payment of any dividend, the board of directors may set aside out of any
funds of AMD available for dividends such amount thought proper to meet contingencies, equalize dividends, repair or maintain any property of AMD, or for such other purpose as the board of directors determines to be conducive to the interest of AMD.
The board of directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Liquidation </I></B></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Some provisions of Delaware law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make the following transactions difficult: acquisition by means of a
tender offer; acquisition by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may
otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in the best interests of AMD, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for shares of common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to
encourage persons seeking to acquire control to first negotiate with AMD&#146;s board of directors. We believe that the benefits of protection to AMD&#146;s potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal
to acquire or restructure AMD outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;203
of the DGCL prohibits persons deemed &#147;interested stockholders&#148; from engaging in a &#147;business combination&#148; with a publicly-held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders
unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an &#147;interested stockholder&#148; is a person
who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation&#146;s voting stock and a &#147;business combination&#148; includes a merger,
asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of
directors, such as discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Undesignated Serial
Preferred Stock </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without action by our
stockholders, to designate and issue up to 1,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, any or all of which may be greater than
the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of serial preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until our board of directors determines the specific rights of the
holders of serial preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock and delaying or
preventing a change in control of our common stock without further action by our stockholders and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As of May&nbsp;31, 2022, no shares of our serial preferred stock were outstanding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Special Stockholder Meetings </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The bylaws provide
that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board of directors or secretary of AMD at the request in writing of a majority of the board of directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals </I></B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our bylaws permit a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning at least three percent of our outstanding stock continuously for at least three
years, to nominate and include in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders, director candidates constituting up to twenty percent of our board of directors elected by holders of our common stock, provided that the stockholder (or
group) and each nominee satisfy the requirements as set forth in the bylaws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Composition of the Board of Directors; Election and Removal of
Directors; Filling Vacancies </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The board of directors may consist of not fewer than three nor more than 12 directors. In any uncontested elections
of directors, a director nominee for the board of directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director by the shares represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders for the
election of directors at which a quorum is present, voting together as a single class. An incumbent director who is nominated for an uncontested election and fails to receive a majority of the votes present and voting for such director&#146;s
reelection would be required to tender his or her resignation to the board of directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board
of directors (or any future committee the equivalent thereof) will make a recommendation to the board of directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The board of directors will act on the
recommendation of such committee and will publicly disclose its decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. In a contested election, a plurality voting standard will apply to director elections. The directors
are elected until the expiration of the term for which they are elected and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
directors may be removed only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the holders of our then-outstanding common stock. Furthermore, any vacancy on the board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase
in the size of the board, may be filled only by a majority vote of the board of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. This system of electing and removing directors and filling vacancies may tend to
discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of AMD, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors. </P>

employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under Delaware law. We have entered into agreements to indemnify the
directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the board of directors. With specified exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys&#146; fees, judgments,
fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and

transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. &#147;Direct
participants&#148; in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing
Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries.
Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC
and its participants are on file with the SEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will
receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#146; records.
Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of
their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of
beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership
nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee will not change the
beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may
not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>

through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable securities, where notices and demands in respect of the
securities and the indenture may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and
indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to determine by
lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the securities of such series to be redeemed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such
other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as securities are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such
securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below and unless if otherwise provided in the description of the applicable securities
herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the
applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by
an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit direct participants&#146; accounts upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings
shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street
name.&#148; Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the
beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of
securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights
under the securities and the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of
securities in definitive form. Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC may discontinue providing
its services as securities depositary with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, securities certificates are required to be
