AMD Expands R&D Presence in India



    AMD (NYSE: AMD), a leading global provider of innovative
    processing solutions in the computing, graphics and consumer
    electronics markets, today announced the opening of a new silicon
    design and platform research and development (R&D) facility in
    Bangalore.

    As India´s role and importance in AMD´s global R&D network
    increases, the number of employees in Bangalore continues to grow,
    requiring a new facility that will accommodate the current team while
    also providing room for future growth. Employees will move into the
    new 52,000 square-foot center upon its completion and continue to
    focus on development of AMD´s most advanced, next-generation
    processing solutions.

    Dr. Hector Ruiz, AMD´s Chairman and CEO, traveled to Bangalore to
    inaugurate the newly built center, which is comprised of
    state-of-the-art office space offering a host of modern amenities to
    improve the overall work experience.

    "Our engineering employees in India play a critical role in AMD´s
    global design network, and this new R&D center gives them the
    world-class equipment and resources they need to excel," said
    Ruiz. "In AMD´s quest to become the technology partner of choice for
    the industry, this facility is vital to help us design and deliver
    industry-leading solutions specifically tailored to the needs of our
    customers in India, and for all our customers worldwide."

    Mr. Alok Ohrie, Managing Director, AMD India said, "In a short
    span of six years of presence in India, AMD has posted marketshare
    gains as well as significant contributions to global R&D efforts. AMD
    India´s expansion demonstrates the confidence our corporation has in
    the delivery capabilities of the India R&D teams."

    Engineering staffs in Bangalore are playing the lead role on
    "Shanghai," AMD´s first 45nm quad-core microprocessor, and are
    currently involved in design testing and optimization of the new chip.
    Prior to their efforts on "Shanghai," teams were responsible for
    delivering key intellectual property (IP) for the first Quad-Core AMD
    Opteron(TM) microprocessor, previously codenamed "Barcelona."

    AMD will continue operating its first facility in the city, using
    the existing office space for administration, sales and marketing
    staffs.
