AMD Adds Yahoo Japan to a Growing List of Internet Service Providers Seizing on the Performance and Scalability of the AMD EP...
April 03 2018 - 9:00AM
AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announced that Yahoo Japan Corporation will
be the first internet service provider in Japan to benefit from the
deployment of AMD EPYC™ 7000 series processors. The internet-search
giant’s evaluation and deployment of AMD EPYC™ 7551P processors
adds a notable customer to the ever-expanding list of global
businesses committed to elevating the performance and efficiency of
their server resources with AMD.
The EPYC 7551P processors are powering the recently launched
Dell EMC PowerEdge R6415 servers purchased by Yahoo Japan. The
combination of the EPYC 7551P processor and PowerEdge R6415 provide
Yahoo Japan with a highly scalable, single-socket server solution.
With the new EPYC processors, Yahoo Japan has access to a
no-compromise, single-socket processor that is ideal for the
business’ hypervisor applications, delivering a superior balance of
core density, memory, and I/O bandwidth.
“The EPYC 7000 series shows time and again just how innovative
and flexible our next-generation of AMD processors can be. We knew
that our single-socket and dual-socket solutions would drive real
appeal in a datacenter market ready for a shakeup, but we’ve also
achieved a serious level of differentiation in high-performance
computing, virtualization, storage and more, that is drawing global
attention, evaluation and adoption among some great customers,”
said Scott Aylor, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD
Enterprise Solutions. “Yahoo Japan’s deployment of EPYC marks a
notable achievement for our new family of processors. Japan plays a
key role in the evolution of the data center market and all the
adjacent industries that depend on those data centers.”
Nobuhiro Takasawa, vice president of Yahoo Japan Site
Operations, Yahoo Japan, said, “Yahoo Japan is very selective in
choosing which systems meet our high-standards for performance and
optimization in the datacenter. AMD EPYC was able to meet those
requirements while also lowering total-cost-ownership using a
single-socket platform. This first engagement with AMD EPYC begins
a significant new relationship between our companies. Yahoo Japan
is excited about the future AMD product roadmap and the commitment
AMD is showing to the needs of the server customer.”

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTThis press release contains
forward-looking statements concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
(AMD) including the features, functionality, availability, timing,
and expected benefits of AMD’s deployment of EPYC™ 7000 series
processors to Yahoo Japan Corporation, 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; the products
that AMD sells are complex and may be subject to security
vulnerabilities that could result in, among other things, the loss,
corruption or misuse of confidential data by unauthorized third
parties or system performance issues. AMD's efforts to prevent and
address security vulnerabilities can be costly and may be partially
effective or not successful at all; 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
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30,
2017.
