PRESENTATION SUMMARY

S1. Antitrust Complaint (D.K.) 1. Highlights: 1. On 06/27/2005, AMD filed a 48-page antitrust complaint against Intel Corporation in US Federal District Court in Delaware.

S2. Opening Comments (H.R.) 1. AMD's Position in the Marketplace:

1. Over the past several years, AMD has truly become a leader in

innovation by bringing affordable computing to people around

forging the pathway to better, more innovative computing.

2. Through the introduction of 64-bit technology and dual-core

processors to the state-of-the-art 300 millimeter fabrication

plant about to become online, AMD believes that its reputation

as an industry leader is now unquestioned. 3. Chosen for its superior performance, efficiency and price, AMD products are now used by over half of Fortune 100 companies and the world's top entertainers and creative minds. 4. Industry analysts and leading technology and business publications across the globe have recognized and acclaimed AMD's innovation leadership. 5. AMD is a customer-driven Co. 1.
