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 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 and
market uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and
operating results; the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic could materially adversely affect AMD’s business,
financial condition and results of operations; AMD’s worldwide
operations are subject to political, legal and economic risks and
natural disasters which could have a material adverse effect on
AMD; government actions and regulations such as export
administration regulations, tariffs and trade protection measures,
may limit AMD’s ability to export its products to certain
customers; AMD products may be subject to security vulnerabilities
that could have a material adverse effect on AMD; IT outages, data

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; 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, memory and other computer platform
components to support its business; if AMD loses Microsoft

boost for AMD Ryzen Processors is the maximum frequency achievable
by a single core on the processor running a bursty single-threaded
workload. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including,
but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard
design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS
updates. GD-1506 Base frequency is the approximate processor clock
speed of a typical workload running at the processor’s standard
TDP. GD-166.7 Though both are often measured in watts, it is
important to distinguish between thermal and electrical watts.
Thermal wattage for processors is conveyed via thermal design power
(TDP). TDP is a calculated value that conveys an appropriate
thermal solution to achieve the intended operation of a processor.
Electrical watts are not a variable in the TDP calculation. By
design, electrical watts can vary from workload to workload and may
exceed thermal watts. GD-1098 Suggested online retailer price in US
