AMD DRIVES NEXT GENERATION OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT COMPUTING WITH 65NM

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. – Dec. 5, 2006 – Launching the next generation
of energy-efficient computing, AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the
transition to 65nm process technology, beginning with the immediate
availability of energy-efficient AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 dual-core desktop
processors. The move to 65nm process technology enables AMD to produce
more processors on a 300mm wafer, for increased production capacity,
while continuing to aggressively scale performance and reduce power
consumption. AMD processors built with 65nm line-widths are designed to
deliver exceptional performance when running multiple applications, as
well as enable small form factor PCs that complement both home and
office environments. By mid-2007, AMD expects to be fully converted to
65nm production at Fab 36. With the rapid conversion to 65nm process
technology, AMD is scaling capacity intelligently to meet growing demand
worldwide for x86 processors.
