AMD Appoints Douglas Grose to Lead Worldwide Technology Development and Manufacturing Operations

AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that Douglas Grose has been
appointed to the role of senior vice president of technology
development, manufacturing and supply chain at AMD. In this role,
Grose will have global responsibility for AMD's global manufacturing
and process technology operations as well as overall supply chain
management. Manufacturing responsibilities include AMD-owned
facilities as well as all current foundry relationships.

Grose joins AMD from IBM where he served as the general manager of
technology development and manufacturing for the systems and
technology group. Grose will succeed Daryl Ostrander, who will retire
in 2007, after a long and distinguished career at AMD that saw the
company scale manufacturing operations at an unprecedented level.

"Over the last decade, AMD's manufacturing operations have risen
to a leadership position in the industry, with our fabs recognized for
their high levels of technology innovation, productivity and
efficiency," said Dirk Meyer, President and Chief Operating Officer,
AMD. "Doug joins AMD with a proven track record of operational
excellence, and we look forward to his leadership as we intelligently
scale our capacity and execute on a number of major strategic
initiatives to further enhance our manufacturing capabilities in the
coming years. I would also like to thank Daryl Ostrander for his
tremendous drive and commitment in delivering best-in-class
manufacturing capabilities for our customers during his tenure. Our
growth as a company would not have been possible without it."

Prior to joining AMD, Doug spent the last two years as the general
manager of technology development and manufacturing for IBM's system
and technology group. In this role, Doug oversaw IBM's microprocessor
production, process technology development and packaging operations.
Before joining IBM, Grose was executive vice president and chief
operating officer of Nanotech Resources, Inc., a not-for-profit
corporation that develops and deploys advanced technology throughout
New York State by coordinating nanotechnology education and research
programs within the State University of New York (SUNY) system. Prior
to joining Nanotech Resources, Grose was the chief operating officer
of Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, a subsidiary business of
Hitachi Ltd. that was formed through a merger with IBM's Storage
Technology Business. Grose previously served as General Manager of
this IBM business unit and played a key leadership role in the success
of this deal.

"I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to assume a
leadership position like this at AMD," said Grose. "With a tremendous
foundation already in place, I look forward to applying my skills as
we build a unique hybrid manufacturing model that delivers highest
levels of responsiveness and value to our customers."

Grose holds a doctorate degree in materials engineering, a
master's degree in business administration and science and a
bachelor's of science degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
