Under our co-marketing development programs, eligible customers can use market development funds as reimbursement for advertisements and marketing programs related to our products and third-party systems integrating our products, subject to meeting defined criteria.

Customers

Our Data Center Segment customers consist primarily of hyperscale data centers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original design manufacturers (ODMs), system integrators and independent distributors in both domestic and international markets. ODMs provide design and/or manufacturing services to branded and unbranded private label resellers, OEMs and system builders.

Our Client and Gaming Segment customers consist primarily of PC OEMs, a network of independent distributors and, for chipset products, ODMs that manufacture motherboards. PC OEMs and independent distributors as well as add-in-board manufacturers (AIBs), independent game console and portable gaming devices manufacturers and contract manufacturers for AMD branded graphics cards.

Our Embedded Segment products are sold to customers in a very wide range of markets such as aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial, vision and healthcare, communications infrastructure, test and measurement, emulation and prototyping, audio, video and broadcasting and data center. For these products, we either sell directly to our customers or through a network of distributors and OEM partners. We are also developing a network of Value Added Resellers (VARs) and Integrated Solution Vendors (ISVs) for our Alveo products.

We work closely with our customers to define product features, performance and timing of new products so that the products we are developing meet our customers’ needs. We also employ application engineers to assist our customers in designing, testing and qualifying system designs that incorporate our products. We believe that our commitment to customer service and design support improves our customers’ time to market and fosters relationships that encourage customers to use the next generation of our products.

We also work with our customers to create differentiated products that leverage our CPU, GPU, APU, DPU, AI NIC, and FPGA technology. Certain customers pay us non-recurring engineering fees for design and development services and a purchase price for the resulting products.

Original Equipment Manufacturers

We focus on three types of OEM partners: multi-nationals, selected regional accounts and selected global and local system integrators, who target commercial and consumer end customers of all sizes. Large multi-nationals and regional accounts are the core of our OEM partners’ business; however, we are increasingly focused on the VAR channel, which resells OEM systems to the mid-market and the small and medium business (SMB) segments. Additionally, we have increased our focus on global system integrators, which resell OEM systems, coupled with their software and services solutions into Enterprise, High Performance Computing (HPC) and Cloud Service Provider customers. Our OEM customers include numerous foreign and domestic manufacturers of servers and workstations, desktops, notebooks, PC motherboards and game consoles.

Table of Contents

Hyperscale Data Centers

Large multi-national public cloud service providers and hyperscale private data centers directly and indirectly purchase a substantial portion of our data center-focused products, including server CPUs, GPU accelerators, DPUs, AI NICs, FPGAs and adaptive SoCs. These products are incorporated into servers and other data center appliances sold by OEMs to the hyperscale customers or into custom servers or hardware designed by or for these customers and manufactured by ODMs or contract manufacturers. Hyperscale data centers use these products to operate web-based applications or to support public cloud computing and storage service offerings, including but not limited to AI workloads such as generative AI models.

Third-Party Distributors

Our authorized channel distributors resell to sub-distributors, OEMs, ODMs and other customers. Typically, distributors handle a wide variety of products, and may include products from other manufacturers that compete with our products. Distributors typically maintain an inventory of our products. In most instances, our agreements with distributors protect their inventory of our products against price reductions and provide certain return rights with respect to any product that we have removed from our price book or are otherwise subject to discontinuation. In addition, some agreements with our distributors may contain standard stock rotation provisions permitting limited product returns.

Add-in-Board (AIB) Manufacturers and System Integrators

We offer component-level graphics and chipset products to AIB manufacturers who in turn build and sell board-level products using our technology to system integrators (SIs), retailers and sub distributors. In most instances, our agreements with AIBs protect their inventory of our products against price reductions. We also sell directly to some SI customers. SIs typically sell from positions of regional or product-based strength in the market. They usually operate on short design cycles and can respond quickly with new technologies. SIs often use discrete graphics solutions as a means to differentiate their products and add value to their customers.

Competition

The markets in which our products are sold are highly competitive and rapidly evolving and delivering the latest and best products to market on time is critical to revenue growth. The competitiveness of our products depends on a number of factors including, performance, total cost of ownership, timely product introductions, product quality and reliability, product features and capabilities, energy efficiency (including power consumption and battery life, given their impact on total cost of ownership), size (or form factor), selling price, cost, adherence to industry standards (and the creation of open industry standards), level of integration, software and hardware compatibility, ease of use and functionality of software design tools, completeness of applicable software solutions, security and stability, brand recognition and availability. Competition is expected to remain intense, driven by rapid technological change, evolving standards, shifting customer preferences, product obsolescence, and frequent product launches from both established and new competitors.

Competition in Data Center Segment

In the Data Center segment, we compete primarily against Intel Corporation (Intel) and Nvidia Corporation (Nvidia with our CPU, GPU DPU and AI NIC server products. In addition, we compete against Altera with our FPGA and adaptive SoC server products. A variety of smaller fabless silicon companies offer proprietary accelerator solutions and Arm®-based CPUs targeting data center use cases. In addition, some of our customers are internally developing their own data center microprocessor products and accelerator products which could impact the available market for our products.

Competition in Client and Gaming Segment

Our primary competitor in the supply of CPUs and APUs is Intel. A variety of companies provide or have developed Arm-based microprocessors and platforms which could lead to further adoption of Arm-based PC solutions.

Table of Contents

Our principal competitor in the supply of discrete graphics is Nvidia, who is the discrete GPU market share leader, and Intel, who manufactures and sells integrated graphics processors and gaming-focused discrete GPUs. With respect to integrated graphics, higher unit shipments of our APUs and Intel’s integrated graphics may drive computer manufacturers to reduce the number of systems they build paired with discrete graphics components, particularly for notebooks, because they may offer satisfactory graphics performance for most mainstream PC users at a lower cost. We are the market share leader in semi-custom game console products, where graphics performance is critical.

Competition in Embedded Segment

We expect continued competition from our primary FPGA competitors such as Altera, Lattice Semiconductor Corporation and Microsemi Corporation, and from ASSP vendors such as Broadcom Corporation, Marvell Technology Group, Ltd., Analog Devices, Texas Instruments Incorporated, NXP Semiconductors N.V., Qualcomm Incorporated and NVIDIA. In addition, we expect continued competition from the ASIC market, which has been ongoing since the inception of FPGAs. Intel is our main competitor for embedded CPUs. Other competitors include manufacturers of high-density programmable logic products characterized by FPGA-type architectures; high-volume and low-cost FPGAs as programmable replacements for ASICs and ASSPs; ASICs and ASSPs with incremental amounts of embedded programmable logic; high-speed, low-density CPLDs; high-performance DSP devices; products with embedded processors; products with embedded multi-gigabit transceivers; discrete general-purpose GPUs targeting data center and automotive applications; and other new or emerging programmable logic products.

Research and Development

We focus our research and development (R&D) activities on designing and developing products. Our main area of focus is on delivering the next generation of processors (CPU and GPU), FPGAs and adaptive SoCs, accelerators (adaptive, graphics and DPU), SOMs and AI NICs, and the associated software for these products. We focus on designing, with security in mind, new integrated circuits (ICs) with improved performance and performance-per-watt in advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, the design of logic and interface IP, advanced packaging technologies, and heterogeneous integration technologies. We also focus on software as part of the development of our products, including design automation tools for hardware, embedded software, AI stack, and optimized software tools and libraries that extend the reach of our platforms to software and AI developers. Through our R&D efforts, we were able to introduce a number of new products and enhance our IP core offerings and software.

We also work with industry leaders on process technology, design tools, intellectual property, software and other industry consortia to conduct early-stage R&D. We are also actively contributing to numerous industry open-source software initiatives and industry consortia across a broad range of technologies. We conduct product and system R&D activities for our products in the United States with additional design and development engineering teams located in various countries who undertake specific activities at the direction of our U.S. headquarters.

Intellectual Property and Licensing

We rely on contracts and intellectual property rights to protect our products and technologies from unauthorized third-party copying and use. Intellectual property rights include copyrights, patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade secrets and mask work rights. As of December 27, 2025, we had approximately 7,200 patents in the United States and approximately 2,200 patent applications pending in the United States. In certain cases, we have filed corresponding applications in foreign jurisdictions. Including United States and foreign matters, we have approximately 18,900 patent matters worldwide consisting of approximately 12,600 issued patents and 6,300 patent applications pending. We expect to file future patent applications in both the United States and abroad on significant inventions, as we deem appropriate. We do not believe that any individual patent, or the expiration of any patent, is or would be material to our business. As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we have numerous cross-licensing and technology exchange agreements with other companies under which we both transfer and receive intellectual property and technology rights. We have acquired various licenses from external parties to certain technologies that are implemented in our products, including our IP cores and devices. These licenses support our continuing ability to make and sell our products. We have also acquired licenses to certain proprietary software, open-source software, and related technologies, such as compilers, for our design tools. Continued use of such software and technology is important to the operation of the design tools upon which our customers depend.

Backlog

Sales are made primarily pursuant to purchase orders for current delivery or agreements covering purchases over a period of time. Although such orders or agreements may provide visibility into future quarters, they may not necessarily be indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period as some of these orders or agreements may be revised or canceled without penalty.

Seasonality

Our operating results tend to vary seasonally. Historically, our net revenue has been generally higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year, although market conditions and product transitions could impact these trends.

Human Capital

As of December 27, 2025, we had approximately 31,000 employees in our global workforce. We believe we are at our best when our culture of innovation and people from all kinds of backgrounds work together in an engaging and open environment. Areas of focus for us include:

Mission, Culture, and Engagement

Founded in 1969 as a Silicon Valley start-up, the AMD journey began with dozens of employees focused on leading-edge semiconductor products. From those modest beginnings, we have grown into a global company achieving many important industry firsts along the way.

Our diverse workforce allows us to create an inclusive workplace that encourages employees to share their opinions and different perspectives. We believe that having a diverse talent pipeline, encouraging a culture of respect and belonging, and enabling unique voices to be heard fosters innovation and makes our company stronger. Our

Table of Contents

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) encourage employee engagement and play an important role in our culture. ERGs are voluntary initiatives in which an employee chooses to actively participate in one or more employee engagement programs. In 2025, we broadened our commitment to developing our engineering talent by expanding mentoring opportunities and career development programs for engineering professionals at AMD.

Total Rewards

We invest in our workforce by offering competitive salaries, incentives, and benefits to ensure that we continue to attract and retain the industry’s best and brightest in an equitable manner. We regularly review our compensation practices, considering factors relevant to ensuring equitable pay such as an employee’s role, experience, skills, and performance. We also benchmark set pay ranges based on relevant market data and our overall workforce. We focus on flexibility and choice in our benefits that resonate with a multi-generational workforce as well as offering inclusive benefits. We also provide flexibility with in-person, hybrid and remote work as options for our employees.

We have a strong pay for performance culture that we believe drives superior results and our rewards programs enable us to attract, retain and motivate our workforce.

Development

We offer our employees opportunities to advance their careers at the Company and the majority of our new leaders are promoted from within. We are focused on leadership progression and encourage our employees to take advantage of new opportunities. Our manager and leadership development programs are highly rated, and we provide specialized development programs for our employees as well as educational assistance in the form of tuition reimbursement for eligible employees to continue their university education or achieve advanced certifications.

We have an enterprise-wide mentoring program where employees have the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues, develop new skills, and build their professional networks. The program also supports effective onboarding, helping new hires more quickly acclimate to our company culture and work processes.

Employee Voice

At AMD, we value the importance of employee voice and actively engage in efforts to ensure that our employees' opinions and perspectives are heard and considered. Our employee voice strategy includes an annual AMDer Survey (engagement survey) referenced above. Additionally, we measure effectiveness across all elements of the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, exit, and regularly seek out employee feedback on areas including benefits and total rewards satisfaction. Further, our executive team holds frequent employee roundtables, town halls and global team meetings, which facilitate open communication and feedback from our workforce.

Government Regulations

Our global operations are subject to various United States and foreign laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those relating to export control, customs, intellectual property, data privacy and security, climate, environmental, health and safety requirements, cybersecurity, tax, employment, competition and anti-trust, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, conflict minerals, corporate governance, financial and other disclosures, and AI. Compliance with these governmental laws and regulations do not presently have a material adverse impact on our capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position. However, compliance with changes to existing or new regulations may have a material adverse impact on our future capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position. In addition, the failure to comply with government laws and regulations may subject us to consequences including fines, limits on our ability to sell our products, suspension of certain of our business activities, reputational damage, criminal and civil liabilities, and sanctions, which may have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position. For additional information about government regulations applicable to our business, and their potential impacts see Risk Factors in Item 1A.

Environmental Regulations

Table of Contents

Certain environmental laws, including the United States Comprehensive, Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or the Superfund Act, impose strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability on current and previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous substances and impose liability for damages to natural resources. These laws often impose liability even if the owner or operator did not know of, or was not responsible for, the release of such hazardous substances. These environmental laws also assess liability on persons who arrange for hazardous substances to be sent to disposal or treatment facilities when such facilities are found to be contaminated. Such persons can be responsible for cleanup costs even if they never owned or operated the contaminated facility. We have been named as a responsible party at three Superfund Sites in Sunnyvale, California that are on the National Priorities List. Since 1981, we have discovered hazardous material releases to the soil and groundwater from former underground tanks and proceeded to investigate and conduct remediation at these three sites. The chemicals released into the groundwater were commonly used in the semiconductor industry in the United States in the wafer fabrication process.

In 1991, we received Final Site Clean-up Requirements Orders from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board relating to the three sites. We entered into an agreement with another responsible party with respect to one of the sites. Pursuant to that agreement, the other party is responsible for cleanup of certain offsite contamination. We remain responsible for cleanup not covered by the agreement, including on-site cleanup, as well as all remaining costs in the event that the other party does not fulfill its obligations under the agreement.

To address anticipated future remediation costs under the orders, we have computed and recorded an estimated environmental liability of approximately $5.9 million and have not recorded any potential insurance recoveries in determining the estimated costs of the cleanup. The progress of future remediation efforts cannot be predicted with certainty and these costs may change. We believe that any amount in addition to what has already been accrued would not be material.

Additional environmental regulations on materials, chemicals, energy and waste apply directly or indirectly to the design, manufacturing, use and end-of-use of semiconductor devices and solutions. As examples, the European Union (EU) and China are among a growing number of jurisdictions that have enacted restrictions on the use of lead and other materials in electronic products. Chemical reporting and restriction requirements continue to evolve, namely related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Jurisdictions including the EU, California and China are developing or have finalized product energy efficiency regulations impacting market access and/or public procurement for computers and servers. Existing and developing regulations related to electronic waste recycling and extended producer responsibility, including the EU, China, Brazil, India, as well as state and municipal jurisdictions like California and Sao Paulo Brazil, require labeling, fees and/or reporting to support recycling efforts. Certain of these laws target end-user products. However, the scope of such laws is inconsistent, which increases the complexity of compliance. We continue to work with customers, suppliers and industry groups to monitor and address product-related environmental regulations. While compliance has not historically had a material impact on our financial condition, earnings, or competitive position, there can be no assurance that these evolving laws will not require us to incur significant costs, modify our operations or product designs, or take other actions for compliance.

Economic and Strategic Risks

The markets in which our products are sold are highly competitive and rapidly evolving.

Delivering the latest and best products to market on time is critical to revenue growth. The competitiveness of our products depends on a number of factors including, performance, total cost of ownership, timely product introductions, product quality and reliability, product features and capabilities, energy efficiency (including power consumption and battery life, given their impact on total cost of ownership), size (or form factor), selling price, cost, adherence to industry standards (and the creation of open industry standards), level of integration, software and hardware compatibility, ease of use and functionality of software design tools, completeness of applicable software solutions, security and stability, brand recognition and availability.

Competition is expected to remain intense, driven by rapid technological change, evolving standards, shifting customer preferences, product obsolescence, and frequent product launches from both established and new competitors. Some of our competitors may possess stronger market positions, larger customer bases, more design wins, and greater financial, sales, marketing, and distribution resources than us. As a result, they may be able to acquire market share or limit our ability to do so, more effectively capitalize on new market opportunities, and transition their products more efficiently than we can. Some competitors are pursuing alternative computing architectures, such as Arm, which could grow the Arm ecosystem and increase competition in consumer, commercial and data center, reducing demand for our products. Additionally, we may encounter competition from customers who internally develop products to support similar AI workloads to those supported by ours.

Our competitors may use their market position and financial resources to market and price their products in a way to dissuade customers from purchasing from us. For example, Intel Corporation (Intel) uses its microprocessor market position to price its products aggressively and target our customers and channel partners with special incentives. These aggressive activities have reduced and may reduce our unit sales and average selling prices for many of our products, adversely affecting our business. Similarly, Nvidia Corporation (Nvidia) leverages its market position in data center GPU, financial resources, and proprietary software ecosystem to promote its systems and influences customers who do business with us. Our competitors’ business practices, including allocation strategies, pricing actions, product mix and introduction schedules, licensing terms, marketing arrangements, product bundling strategies, lack of software inoperability and business acquisitions can limit customers’ ability to choose alternative products, including ours. This may limit our market share and decrease our margins and profitability, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.

In addition, strategic partnerships, acquisitions and business collaborations by and between our competitors may increase competition and adversely affect our business. For example, in September 2025, Nvidia announced a partnership and investment in Intel to partner on new data center and client platform products. This partnership may result in increased competition and pricing pressure for our products or could prevent us from participating in other opportunities, which could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and margins.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and has experienced severe downturns that have materially adversely affected, and may continue to materially adversely affect, our business in the future.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and has experienced significant downturns, often alongside constant and rapid technological change, wide fluctuations in supply and demand, continuous new product introductions, price erosion and declines in general economic conditions. The growth of AI is further creating pressure on the semiconductor industry to timely design, manufacture and deliver semiconductor products and solutions to meet customer demand for computing power and AI infrastructure. We have incurred substantial losses in previous downturns, due to substantial declines in average selling prices; the cyclical nature of supply and demand imbalances in the semiconductor industry; a decline in demand for end-user products that incorporate our products; and excess inventory levels and periods of inventory adjustment. Such industry-wide fluctuations may materially adversely affect us in the future. Global economic uncertainty and weakness have in the past impacted the semiconductor market as consumers and businesses have deferred purchases, which negatively impacted demand for our products. Our financial performance has been, and may in the future be, negatively affected by these downturns.

The growth of our business is also dependent on continued demand for our products from high-growth adjacent emerging global markets. Our ability to be successful in such markets depends in part on our ability to establish adequate local infrastructure, as well as our ability to cultivate and maintain local relationships in these markets. If demand from these markets is below our expectations, sales of our products may decrease, which would have a material adverse effect on us.

Table of Contents

The demand for our products depends in part on the market conditions in the industries into which they are sold. Fluctuations in demand for our products or a market decline in any of these industries could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Industry-wide fluctuations in the computer marketplace have materially adversely affected us in the past and may materially adversely affect us in the future. We offer products that are used in different end markets and the demand for our products can vary among our Data Center, Client, Gaming and Embedded end markets. In our Data Center segment, we offer products that are optimized for generative AI applications and since 2024, we have experienced significant demand for our AI accelerators. The demand for such products will in part depend on the extent to which our customers utilize generative AI solutions in a wide variety of applications, and both the near-term and long-term trajectory of such generative AI solutions is unknown. Some customers in AI markets may be unable to secure access to internal and external infrastructure, including availability of sufficient data center capacity or energy for the buildout of data centers that use our products. In addition, construction delays in the scheduled buildout of data centers could impact the timing of customer demand. Such delays in the buildout of data centers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and future growth strategy. Customers may also lack, or be unable to, secure capital to fund their required AI infrastructure and may request alternative financing or deferred‑payment arrangements from vendors and suppliers. These limitations could delay or reduce the demand for our products, which could negatively impact our revenue.

Our Client and Gaming segment revenue is focused on the consumer desktop and notebook PC segments and will depend in part on the market’s adoption of AI PCs. We are actively building AI capabilities into all our Client products, such as Ryzen AI PC processors, but there can be no assurance about the rate and pace of adoption of such product offerings. In the past, revenue from the Client and Gaming segment has experienced a decline driven by, among other factors, the adoption of smaller and other form factors, increased competition and changes in replacement cycles. In addition, our GPU revenue in the past has been affected in part by the volatility of the cryptocurrency mining market. If we are unable to manage the risks related to the volatility of the cryptocurrency mining market (including potential actions by global monetary authorities), our GPU business could be materially adversely affected. The success of our semi-custom SoC products in our Client and Gaming segment is dependent on securing customers for our semi-custom design pipeline and consumer market conditions, including the success of game console systems and next generation consoles for Sony and Microsoft.

Our Embedded segment primarily includes embedded CPUs, APUs, FPGAs, System on Modules (SOMs) and adaptive SoC products some of which are subject to macroeconomic trends and volatile business conditions. To the extent our embedded customers are faced with higher inventory levels, they may choose to draw down their existing inventory and order less of our products.

The success of our business depends on our ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and performance levels that provide value to our customers while supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions.

Our success depends to a significant extent on the development, qualification, implementation and acceptance of new product designs and improvements that provide value to our customers. Our ability to identify industry changes, and adapt our strategy to develop, qualify and distribute, and have manufactured, new products and related technologies to meet evolving industry trends and requirements, at prices acceptable to our customers and on a timely basis, are significant factors in determining our competitiveness in our target markets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the evolving needs of industry changes or that our efforts to execute our product roadmap will result in innovative products and technologies that provide value to our customers. If we fail to or are delayed in identifying, developing, qualifying or shipping new products or technologies that provide value to our customers and address these new trends, or if we fail to predict which new form factors, product features preferences or requirements consumers will adopt and adapt our business accordingly, we may lose competitive positioning, which could cause us to lose market share. Although we make substantial investments in research and development, we cannot be certain that we will be able to develop, obtain or successfully implement new products and technologies on a timely basis or that they will be well-received by our customers. Moreover, our investments in new products and technologies involve certain risks and uncertainties and could disrupt our ongoing business. New investments may not generate sufficient revenue and we may incur unanticipated liabilities. We cannot be certain that our ongoing investments in new products and technologies will be successful, will meet our expectations and will not adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and operating results. For example, as part of our pervasive AI strategy, we have a portfolio of hardware products and software tools to allow our customers to develop scalable and pervasive AI solutions. We are actively building AI capabilities into our products, but there can be no assurance about the rate and pace of adoption of such product offerings. In our Data Center segment, we offer products that are optimized for generative AI applications and we have experienced significant demand for our AI accelerators. The demand for such products in part will depend on the extent to which our customers utilize generative AI solutions in a wide variety of applications as both the near-term and long-term trajectory of such generative AI solutions is unknown. If we fail to develop and timely offer or deploy such products and technologies, keep pace with the product offerings of our competitors, or adapt to unexpected changes in industry standards or disruptive technological innovation, our business could be adversely affected. Additionally, our efforts in developing new AI technology solutions are inherently risky and may not always succeed. We may incur significant costs, resources, investments and delays and not achieve a return on investment or capitalize on the opportunities presented by demand for AI solutions. Moreover, while AI adoption is likely to continue and may accelerate, the long-term trajectory of this technological trend is uncertain.

Delays in developing, qualifying or shipping new products may cause us to miss our customers’ product design windows or, in some cases, breach contractual obligations. If our products are not selected by our customers in the initial design of their computer systems or products, they are typically excluded until at least the next design cycle. The process of being qualified for inclusion in a customer’s system or product can be lengthy and could cause us to further miss a cycle in the demand of end-users, which could result in a loss of market share and harm our business. We also depend on the timing and success of our customers’ platform launches. If our customers delay their product launches or if our customers do not effectively market their platforms with our products, it could result in a delay in bringing our products to market and cause us to miss a cycle in the demand of end-users, which could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, as market demand requires that products incorporate new features and performance standards on an industry-wide basis, product pricing declines over the life of a specific product. The introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products is necessary to maintain the overall corporate average selling price. If we are unable to introduce new products with sufficiently high sale prices or to increase unit sales volumes capable of offsetting the reductions in the sale prices of existing products over time, our business could be materially adversely affected.

Product transition risks may increase as the computing industry shifts toward shorter launch cycles and a broader range of accelerated computing platforms. Product transitions are complex and as such we may ship both new and prior-generation products concurrently. Customer adoption patterns can vary and while some customers may shift to newer products more quickly and reduce demand for current-generation offerings, other customers may lower their inventory of existing products before purchasing new ones. The increased frequency of product transitions and expansion of our product portfolio heightens the challenges of managing our supply and demand, which could adversely affect our revenue and inventory management. The increasing frequency and complexity of our newly introduced products may also result in unanticipated quality or production issues that could result in product delays.

The loss of a significant customer may have a material adverse effect on us.

We depend on a small number of customers for a substantial portion of our business and we expect that a small number of customers will continue to account for a significant part of our revenue and receivables in the future. If one of our key customers decides to stop buying our products, materially reduces its operations or its demand for our products, or has operations that are materially impaired for a significant period of time such that it is unable to receive or utilize our products, or pay its liabilities, our business would be materially adversely affected.

Economic and market uncertainty may adversely impact our business and operating results.

Uncertain global or regional economic conditions have and may in the future adversely impact our business. Uncertainty in the economic environment or other unfavorable changes in economic conditions, such as inflation, fluctuating interest rates, recession, slowing growth, increased unemployment, tighter credit markets, changes or uncertainty in fiscal monetary or trade policy, implementation of new or increased tariffs, retaliatory tariffs by other countries or other trade restrictions, or currency fluctuations, may negatively impact consumer confidence and spending causing our customers to stop or postpone purchases. During challenging economic times, our current or potential future customers may experience cash flow problems and as a result may modify, delay or cancel plans to purchase our products. Additionally, if our customers are not successful in generating sufficient revenue or are unable to secure financing, they may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that they owe us. If current or prospective customers default on or delay payments to us, our earnings and cash flow could be adversely impacted. This risk is heightened as we expect that a small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial part of our revenue. Moreover, our key suppliers may reduce their output or become insolvent, thereby adversely impacting our ability to manufacture our products. Adverse changes in economic conditions could increase costs of memory, equipment, materials or substrates and other supply chain expenses. For example, there is currently an industry-wide memory shortage as the demand for such components has outpaced supply. The price of memory has also increased as a result of the shortage. If we are not able to procure a stable supply of materials, including memory, on an ongoing basis and at reasonable costs to meet our production requirements, we could experience a supply shortage or an increase in production costs, which could negatively impact our gross margin and materially adversely affect our business. Our ability to forecast our operating results, make business decisions and execute our business strategy could be adversely impacted by challenging macroeconomic conditions. In addition, uncertain economic conditions could lead to higher borrowing costs and reduced availability of capital and credit markets, making it more difficult for us to raise funds through borrowings or private or public sales of debt or equity securities. An economic downturn or increased uncertainty could also lead to failures of counterparties including financial institutions and insurers, asset impairments and declines in the value of our financial instruments. If a banking institution in which we hold funds fails or is subject to significant adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets, we could be subject to a risk of loss of all or a portion of such uninsured funds or be subject to a delay in accessing all or a portion of such uninsured funds, which in turn could adversely impact our short-term liquidity and ability to meet our operating expense obligations.

Our operating results are subject to quarterly and seasonal sales patterns.

The profile of our sales may be weighted differently during the year. A large portion of our quarterly sales have historically been made in the last month of the quarter. This uneven sales pattern makes prediction of revenue for each financial period difficult and increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly results and financial condition. In addition, our operating results tend to vary seasonally with the markets in which our products are sold. For example, historically, our net revenue has been generally higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year, although market conditions and product transitions could impact these trends. Many of the factors that create and affect quarterly and seasonal trends are beyond our control.

If we cannot adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property in the United States and abroad, through patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks and other measures, we may lose a competitive advantage and incur significant expenses.

We rely on a combination of protections provided by contracts, including confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements, copyrights, patents, trademarks and common law rights, such as trade secrets, to protect our intellectual property. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our technology or other intellectual property from third-party infringement or from misappropriation in the United States and abroad. Any patent licensed by us or issued to us could be challenged, invalidated, expire, or circumvented or rights granted thereunder may not provide a competitive advantage to us.

Table of Contents

Furthermore, patent applications that we file may not result in issuance of a patent or, if a patent is issued, the patent may not be issued in a form that is advantageous to us. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, others may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design around our patents and other rights. In addition, it is difficult to monitor compliance with, and enforce, our intellectual property on a worldwide basis in a cost-effective manner. In jurisdictions where foreign laws provide less intellectual property protection than afforded in the U.S. and abroad, our technology or other intellectual property may be compromised, and our business would be materially adversely affected.

Unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect us.

We have costs, assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. As a consequence, movements in exchange rates could cause our foreign currency denominated expenses to increase as a percentage of revenue, affecting our profitability and cash flows. Whenever we believe appropriate, we hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposure to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We determine our total foreign currency exposure using projections of long-term expenditures for items such as payroll. We cannot assure you that these activities will be effective in reducing foreign exchange rate exposure. Failure to do so could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In addition, the majority of our product sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the local currency may impact the cost of our products in the local currency for international customers. An appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency could reduce sales of our products.

Operational and Technology Risks

We rely on third parties to manufacture our products, and if they are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies, our business could be materially adversely affected.

We utilize third-party wafer foundries to fabricate the silicon wafers for all of our products. We rely on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) for the production of all wafers for microprocessor and GPU products at 7 nanometer (nm) or smaller nodes, and we rely primarily on GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) for wafers for microprocessor and GPU products manufactured at process nodes larger than 7 nm. We also utilize TSMC, United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. for our integrated circuits (IC) in the form of programmable logic devices. We also rely on third-party manufacturers to assemble, test, mark and pack (ATMP) our products. Our third-party package assembly partners are responsible for packaging technology used to fabricate our products. It is important to have reliable relationships with all of these third-party manufacturing suppliers to ensure adequate product supply to respond to customer demand.

We cannot guarantee that these manufacturers or our other third-party manufacturing suppliers will be able to meet our near-term or long-term manufacturing requirements. If we experience supply constraints from our third-party manufacturing suppliers, we may be required to allocate the reduced quantities of affected products amongst our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our relationships with these customers and on our financial condition. In addition, if we are unable to meet customer demand due to fluctuating or late supply from our manufacturing suppliers, it could result in lost sales and have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, if TSMC is not able to manufacture wafers for our microprocessor and GPU products at 7 nm or smaller nodes and our newest IC products in sufficient quantities to meet customer demand, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Table of Contents

We do not have long-term commitment contracts with some of our third-party manufacturing suppliers. We obtain many of these manufacturing services on a purchase order basis and these manufacturers are not required to provide us with any specified minimum quantity of product beyond the quantities in an existing purchase order. Accordingly, we depend on these suppliers to allocate to us a portion of their manufacturing capacity sufficient to meet our needs, to produce products of acceptable quality and at acceptable manufacturing yields and to deliver those products to us on a timely basis and at acceptable prices. The manufacturers we use also fabricate wafers and ATMP products for other companies, including certain of our competitors. They could choose to prioritize capacity for other customers, increase the prices that they charge us on short notice, require onerous prepayments, or reduce or eliminate deliveries to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we overestimate our customer demand or experience a decrease in customer demand, either could result in excess inventory and an increase in our production costs. We are party to a wafer supply agreement with GF where GF will provide a minimum annual capacity allocation to us and set pricing through 2026. If our actual wafer requirements are less than the number of wafers required to meet the applicable annual wafer purchase target, we could have excess inventory or higher inventory unit costs, both of which may adversely impact our gross margin and our results of operations.

Other risks associated with our dependence on third-party manufacturers include limited control over delivery schedules, yield, cycle times, quality assurance, price increases, lack of capacity in periods of excess demand, misappropriation of our intellectual property, dependence on several subcontractors, and limited ability to manage inventory and parts. Moreover, if any of our third-party manufacturers (or their subcontractors) suffer any damage to facilities, lose benefits under material agreements, experience power outages, water shortages, or high heat events, lack sufficient capacity to manufacture our products, encounter financial difficulties, are unable to secure necessary raw materials from their suppliers, suffer any other disruption or reduction in efficiency, or experience uncertain environmental, social, atmospheric or natural, economic or political circumstances or conditions, we may encounter supply delays or disruptions. For example, in the first quarter of 2024, we experienced some inventory loss due to an incident at a contract manufacturer. If we are unable to secure sufficient or reliable supply of products, our ability to meet customer demand may be adversely affected and this could materially affect our business.

If we transition the production of some of our products to new manufacturers, we may experience delayed product introductions, lower yields or poorer performance of our products. If we experience problems with product quality or are unable to secure sufficient capacity from a particular third-party manufacturer, or if we for other reasons cease utilizing one of those manufacturers, we may be unable to timely secure an alternative supply for any specific product. We could experience significant delays in the shipment of our products if we are required to find alternative third-party manufacturers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are party to two ATMP joint ventures (collectively, the ATMP JVs) with affiliates of Tongfu Microelectronics Co., Ltd. The majority of our ATMP services are provided by the ATMP JVs and there is no guarantee that the ATMP JVs will be able to fulfill our long-term ATMP requirements. If we are unable to meet customer demand due to fluctuating or late supply from the ATMP JVs, it could result in lost sales and have a material adverse effect on our business.

If essential equipment, materials, substrates or manufacturing processes are not available to manufacture our products, we could be materially adversely affected.

We may purchase equipment, materials and substrates for use by our back-end manufacturing service providers from a number of suppliers and our operations depend upon obtaining deliveries of adequate supplies of equipment and materials of acceptable quality on a timely basis. Our third-party suppliers also depend on the same timely delivery of adequate quantities of equipment and materials of acceptable quality in the manufacture of our products. In addition, as many of our products increase in technical complexity, we rely on our third-party suppliers to update their processes in order to continue meeting our back-end manufacturing needs. Certain equipment and materials that are used in the manufacture of our products are available only from a limited number of suppliers, or in some cases, a sole supplier. We also depend on a limited number of suppliers to provide the majority of certain types of IC packages for our microprocessors, including our APU products. Similarly, certain non-proprietary materials or components such as memory, printed circuit boards (PCBs), interposers, substrates and capacitors used in the manufacture of our products are currently available from only a limited number of suppliers. For example, there is currently an industry-wide memory shortage as the demand for such components has outpaced supply. The price of memory has also increased as a result of the shortage. If we are unable to procure a stable supply of memory, equipment, materials or substrates of acceptable quality on an ongoing basis and at reasonable costs to meet our production requirements, we could experience a shortage in memory, equipment, materials or substrate supply or an increase in production costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We have long-term purchase commitments and prepayment arrangements with some of our suppliers. If the delivery of such supply is delayed or does not occur for any reason, it could materially impact our ability to procure and process the required volume of supply to meet customer demand. Conversely, if we overestimate our customer demand or experience a decrease in customer demand, either because customers cancel orders or choose to purchase from our competitors, it could result in excess inventory and an increase in our production costs, particularly since we have prepayment arrangements with certain suppliers. Because some of the equipment and materials that we and our third-party manufacturers purchase are complex, it is sometimes difficult to substitute one equipment or materials supplier for another.

From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supply or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. Also, some of these materials and components may be subject to rapid changes in price, quality and availability. Interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry could cause shortages and price increases in various essential materials. Dependence on a sole supplier or a limited number of suppliers exacerbates these risks. If we are unable to procure certain of these materials for our back-end manufacturing operations, or our third-party manufacturers are unable to procure materials for manufacturing our products, our business would be materially adversely affected.

Failure to achieve expected manufacturing yields for our products could negatively impact our results of operations.

Semiconductor manufacturing yields are a result of product design, process technology and packaging technology, which is typically proprietary to the manufacturer, and low yields can result from design failures, packaging technology failures, process technology failures or a combination of some or all of these. Our third-party manufacturers are responsible for the process technologies used to fabricate silicon wafers. If our third-party manufacturers experience manufacturing inefficiencies or encounter disruptions, errors or difficulties during production, we may fail to achieve acceptable yields or we may experience product delivery delays. We cannot be certain that our third-party manufacturers will be able to develop, expand, obtain or successfully implement leading-edge manufacturing process or packaging technologies needed to manufacture future generations of our products profitably or on a timely basis or that our competitors will not develop new technologies, products or processes earlier. Moreover, during periods when our third-party manufacturers are implementing new process or packaging technologies, their manufacturing facilities may not be fully productive. A substantial delay in the technology transitions to smaller process technologies could have a material adverse effect on us, particularly if our competitors transition to more cost effective technologies before us. For example, we are presently focusing our 7 nm and lower product microprocessor and GPU portfolio on TSMC’s processes. If TSMC is not able to manufacture wafers for our products at 7 nm or smaller nodes in sufficient quantities to meet customer demand, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Moreover, we rely on TSMC, UMC and our other foundries to produce wafers with competitive performance attributes for our IC products. Therefore, the foundries, particularly TSMC which manufactures our newest IC products, must be able to transition to advanced manufacturing process technologies and increased wafer sizes, produce wafers at acceptable yields and deliver them in a timely manner.

Any decrease in manufacturing yields could result in an increase in per unit costs, which would adversely impact our gross margin and/or force us to allocate our reduced product supply amongst our customers, which could harm our relationships and reputation with our customers and materially adversely affect our business.

Our revenue from our semi-custom SoC products is dependent upon our semi-custom SoC products being incorporated into customers’ products and the success of those products.

The revenue that we receive from our semi-custom SoC products is in the form of non-recurring engineering fees charged to third parties for design and development services and revenue received in connection with sales of our semi-custom SoC products to these third parties. As a result, our ability to generate revenue from our semi-custom products depends on our ability to secure customers for our semi-custom design pipeline, our customers’ desire to pursue the project and our semi-custom SoC products being incorporated into those customers’ products. Any revenue from sales of our semi-custom SoC products is directly related to sales of the third-party’s products and reflective of their success in the market. Moreover, we have no control over the marketing efforts of these third parties, and we cannot make any assurances that sales of their products will be successful in current or future years. Consequently, the semi-custom SoC product revenue expected by us may not be fully realized and our operating results may be adversely affected.

Our products may be subject to security vulnerabilities that could have a material adverse effect on us.

The products that we sell are complex and have been and may in the future be subject to security vulnerabilities that could result in, among other things, the loss, corruption, theft or misuse of confidential data or system performance issues. Our efforts to prevent and address security vulnerabilities may decrease performance, be only partially effective or not successful at all. We may depend on vendors to create mitigations to their technology that we incorporate into our products and they may delay or decline to make such mitigations. We may also depend on third parties, such as customers and end-users, to deploy our mitigations alone or as part of their own mitigations, and they may delay, decline or modify the implementation of such mitigations. Our relationships with our customers could be adversely affected as some of our customers may stop purchasing our products, reduce or delay future purchases of our products, or use competing products. Any of these actions by our customers could adversely affect our revenue. We have and may in the future be subject to claims and litigation related to security vulnerabilities. Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities of our products may subject us to adverse publicity, damage to our brand and reputation, and could materially harm our business or results of operations.

IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyberattacks could disrupt operations and compromise our intellectual property or other sensitive information, be costly to remediate or cause significant damage to our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business relies on technology hardware, software, cloud services, infrastructure, networks and systems (collectively, IT Systems). We own and manage some IT Systems but also rely on critical third-party IT Systems, products and services. In the ordinary course of business, we and various third-party providers and business partners process and maintain sensitive data, including personal information about workers, customers and others, as well as intellectual property and proprietary or confidential information relating to our business and that of our customers and business partners (collectively, Confidential Data). Maintaining the availability, integrity and security of our IT Systems and Confidential Data is critical to our business and reputation. While we and others have implemented various controls and defenses, AMD and companies like AMD and our vendors and customers have been and are increasingly subject to cybersecurity attacks, risks and threats. Risks and threat factors range in sophistication from negligent or bad acts by individuals, hackers or insiders, to ransom gangs and state-sponsored attackers. Cyber threats may be generic, or they may be custom-crafted against our IT Systems or supply chain. The increased prevalence of remote working arrangements at AMD and our providers present additional operational risks and attack vectors to our IT Systems. Our IT Systems and Confidential Data are vulnerable to a range of cybersecurity risks and threats, including malicious code that is added to widely available open-source software, compromised commercial software or security vulnerabilities in our products or systems, or those of a third party, that are being used by attackers prior to mitigations being put in place, such as zero-day attacks. Cyberattacks have and may come into our IT Systems through the compromise of users’ access credentials or those of third-party IT systems or untrusted assets. Users’ access credentials can be compromised by phishing, vishing, smishing, multi-factor authentication (MFA) prompt bombing, hacking, or other social engineering, cybersecurity, theft activities, or unintentional disclosure due to a human error.

Threat actors are also increasingly using tools and techniques that circumvent controls, evade detection, and remove forensic evidence, which means that we and others may be unable to implement adequate preventative measures against cyberattacks or to anticipate, detect, deflect, contain or recover from them in a timely or effective manner. As AI capabilities improve and are increasingly adopted, we may see more sophisticated threats created through the use of AI technology to launch more automated, targeted and coordinated cyberattacks. These attacks could be crafted with an AI tool to directly attack IT Systems with increased speed and/or efficiency than a human threat actor or create more effective phishing emails. In addition, the threat could be introduced from the result of our or our customers and business partners incorporating the output of an AI tool that includes a threat, such as introducing malicious code by incorporating AI generated source code. We leverage AI tools and systems to help support our internal functions and operations. These systems are increasingly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, which can significantly impact data security. Our network and storage applications, as well as those of our customers, business partners, and third-party providers, may be subject to unauthorized access by hackers or breached due to operator error, malfeasance or other system disruptions.

Cyberattacks that breach our security measures, or those of our third-party service providers, customers or business partners, could result in any or all of the following, which individually or collectively could materially adversely affect our financial condition and competitive position; unauthorized access to, misuse or disclosure of Confidential Data (such as intellectual property, sensitive business information or personally identifiable information (PII)); reputational harm and/or diminution in our competitiveness; loss of existing and/or future customers; litigation and/or regulatory investigations or enforcement; significant remediation, restoration and compliance costs; and the diversion of management’s attention and key information technology resources. In addition, many governments have enacted and are continuing to enact strict privacy and security laws, such as the UK’s and European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which provide for fines, penalties, and in the case of the CCPA and similar legislation, the basis for private claims for certain types of data breaches. We anticipate ongoing and increasing costs related to enhancing and implementing information security controls, including costs related to upgrading application, computer, and network security components; training workers to maintain and monitor our security controls; investigating, responding to and remediating any data security breach, and addressing any related litigation or regulatory proceedings; mitigating reputational harm; and complying with external regulations.

Uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of our products could materially adversely affect us.

We typically sell our products pursuant to individual purchase orders. We generally do not have long-term supply arrangements with our customers or minimum purchase requirements except that orders generally must be for standard pack quantities. Generally, our customers may cancel orders for standard products more than 30 days prior to shipment without incurring significant fees. We base our inventory levels in part on customers’ estimates of demand for their products, which may not accurately predict the quantity or type of our products that our customers will want in the future or ultimately end up purchasing. Our ability to forecast demand is further complicated when our products are sold indirectly through downstream channel distributors and customers, as our forecasts for demand are then based on estimates provided by multiple parties throughout the downstream channel. To the extent we fail to forecast demand and product mix accurately or are unable to increase production or secure sufficient capacity and there is a mismatch between supply and demand for our products, it could limit our ability to meet customer demand and have a material adverse effect on our business. Many of our markets are characterized by short product lifecycles, which can lead to rapid obsolescence and price erosion. As product complexity has increased, manufacturing lead times have extended and longer production cycles, combined with short product cycles, increase the risk that customer demand for products may change between wafer order and finished good availability, which could result in significant mismatches between supply and demand. In addition, our customers may change their inventory practices on short notice for any reason. We may build inventories during periods of anticipated growth, and the cancellation or deferral of product orders or overproduction due to failure of anticipated orders to materialize could result in excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in write-downs of inventory and an adverse effect on gross margins. Our customers may also experience a shortage of, or delay in receiving certain components to build their products, which in turn may affect the demand for or the timing of our products. In April 2025, the U.S. government implemented a new license requirement for the export of certain semiconductor products to China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and D5 countries, or to companies headquartered in or with an ultimate parent located in such countries. This restriction impacts our AMD Instinct™ MI308 products. As a result of the restriction, we incurred approximately $800 million in inventory and related charges in the second quarter of 2025. We applied for and were granted some licenses by the U.S. government that allow us to ship our MI308 products to certain China-based customers. Sales of our MI308 products into China depend on customer demand, China’s import control rules and our ability to obtain licenses. As such, our revenues and results of operation could be negatively affected.

Excess or obsolete inventory have resulted in, and may in the future result in, write-downs of the value of our inventory. Factors that may result in excess or obsolete inventory, a reduction in the average selling price, or a reduction in our gross margin include: a sudden or significant decrease in demand for our products; a production or design defect in our products; a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements; a failure to accurately estimate customer demand for our products, including for our older products as our new products are introduced; or our competitors introducing new products or taking aggressive pricing actions.

Our ability to design and introduce new products in a timely manner includes the use of third-party intellectual property.

In the design and development of new and enhanced products, we rely on third-party intellectual property such as development and testing tools for software and hardware. Furthermore, certain product features may rely on intellectual property acquired from third parties that we incorporate into our software or hardware. The design requirements necessary to meet customer demand for more features and greater functionality from semiconductor products may exceed the capabilities of the third-party intellectual property or development or testing tools available to us. If the third-party intellectual property that we use becomes unavailable, is not available with required functionality or performance in the time frame, manufacturing technology, or price point needed for our new products or fails to produce designs or functionality that meet customer demands, or laws are adopted that affect our use of third party intellectual property in certain regions or products, our business could be materially adversely affected.

We depend on third-party companies for the design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, software, memory and other computer platform components to support our business and products.

We depend on third-party companies for the design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, graphics cards, software (e.g., BIOS, operating systems, drivers, AI models or tools), memory and other components that we use to design, support and sell, and our customers utilize to support and/or use our product offerings. We also rely on our AIB partners to support our products. In addition, our microprocessors are not designed to function with motherboards and chipsets designed to work with Intel microprocessors. If the designers, manufacturers, AIBs and suppliers of motherboards, graphics cards, software, memory and other components cease or reduce their design, quality, manufacture or production of current or future products that are based on, utilized in, or support our products, or laws are adopted that result in the same, our business could be materially adversely affected.

If we lose Microsoft Corporation’s support for our products or other software vendors do not design and develop software to run on our products, our ability to sell our products could be materially adversely affected.

Our ability to innovate beyond the x86 instruction set controlled by Intel depends partially on Microsoft designing and developing its operating systems to run on or support our x86-based microprocessor products. With respect to our graphics products, we depend in part on Microsoft to design and develop its operating system to run on or support our graphics products. Similarly, the success of our products in the market, such as our APU products, is dependent on independent software providers designing and developing software to run on our products. If Microsoft does not continue to design and develop its operating systems so that they work with our x86 instruction sets or does not continue to develop and maintain their operating systems to support our graphics products, independent software providers may forego designing their software applications to take advantage of our innovations and customers may not purchase PCs with our x86 products. In addition, some software drivers licensed for use with our x86 products are certified by Microsoft. If Microsoft did not certify a driver, or if we otherwise fail to retain the support of Microsoft or other software vendors, our ability to market our x86 products would be materially adversely affected.

Our reliance on third-party distributors and AIB partners subjects us to certain risks.

We market and sell our products directly and through third-party distributors and AIB partners pursuant to agreements that can generally be terminated for convenience by either party upon prior notice. These agreements are non-exclusive and permit both our distributors and AIB partners to offer our competitors’ products. We are dependent on our distributors and AIB partners to supplement our direct marketing and sales efforts. If any significant distributor or AIB partner or a substantial number of our distributors or AIB partners terminated their relationship with us, decided to market our competitors’ products over our products or decided not to market our products at all, our ability to bring our products to market would be impacted and we would be materially adversely affected. We extend credit to certain of our distributors and AIB partners. If we are unable to collect accounts receivable from our significant distributors and/or AIB partners or incur higher allowances for credit losses, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we are unable to manage the risks related to the use of our third-party distributors and AIB partners or offer appropriate incentives to focus them on the sale of our products, our business could be materially adversely affected.

Additionally, distributors and AIB partners typically maintain an inventory of our products. In most instances, our agreements with distributors protect their inventory of our products against price reductions, as well as provide return rights for any product that we have removed from our price book that is less than 12 months older than the manufacturing date. Some agreements with our distributors also contain standard stock rotation provisions permitting limited levels of product returns. Our agreements with AIB partners protect their inventory of our products against price reductions. In the event of a significant decline in the price of our products, the price protection rights we offer would materially adversely affect us because our revenue and corresponding gross margin would decline.

Our business depends on the proper functioning of our internal business processes and information systems and modification or interruption of such systems may disrupt our business, processes and internal controls.

We rely upon a number of internal business processes and information systems to support key business functions, and the efficient operation of these processes and systems is critical to our business. Our business processes and information systems need to be sufficiently scalable to support the growth of our business and may require modifications or upgrades that expose us to a number of operational risks. As such, our information systems will continually evolve and adapt in order to meet our business needs. These changes may be costly and disruptive to our operations and could impose substantial demands on management time.

These changes may also require changes in our information systems, modification of internal control procedures and significant training of employees and third-party resources. We continuously work on simplifying our information systems and applications through consolidation and standardization efforts. There can be no assurance that our business and operations will not experience any disruption in connection with this transition. Our information technology systems, and those of third-party information technology providers or business partners, may also be vulnerable to damage or disruption caused by circumstances beyond our control including catastrophic events, power anomalies or outages, natural disasters, viruses or malware, cyberattacks, insider threat attacks, unauthorized system or data modifications, data breaches and computer system or network failures, exposing us to significant cost, reputational harm and disruption or damage to our business.

In addition, as our IT environment continues to evolve, we are embracing new ways of communicating and sharing data internally and externally with customers and partners using methods such as mobility and the cloud that can promote business efficiency. However, these practices can also result in a more distributed IT environment, making it more difficult for us to maintain visibility and control over internal and external users, and meet scalability and administrative requirements. If our security controls cannot keep pace with the speed of these changes or if we are not able to meet regulatory and compliance requirements, our business would be materially adversely affected.

If our products are not compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware, we could be materially adversely affected.

Our products may not be fully compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware. Further, we may be unsuccessful in correcting any such compatibility problems in a timely manner. If our customers are unable to achieve compatibility with software or hardware, we could be materially adversely affected. In addition, the mere announcement of an incompatibility problem relating to our products could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Costs related to defective products could have a material adverse effect on us.

Products as complex as those we offer may contain defects or failures when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements to existing products are released. We cannot assure you that, despite our testing procedures, errors will not be found in new products or releases after commencement of commercial shipments in the future, which could result in loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products, material recall and replacement costs, loss of revenue, writing down the inventory of defective products, the diversion of the attention of our engineering personnel from product development efforts, defending against litigation related to defective products or related liabilities, including property damage, personal injury, damage to our reputation in the industry and loss of data or intangible property, and could adversely affect our relationships with our customers. In addition, we may have difficulty identifying the end customers of the defective products in the field. As a result, we could incur substantial costs to implement modifications to correct defects. Any of these problems could materially adversely affect our business.

We could be subject to potential product liability claims if one of our products causes, or merely appears to have caused, an injury, whether tangible or intangible. Claims may be made by consumers or others selling our products, and we may be subject to claims against us even if an alleged injury is due to the actions of others. A product liability claim, recall or other claim with respect to uninsured liabilities or for amounts in excess of insured liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we fail to maintain the efficiency of our supply chain as we respond to changes in customer demand for our products, our business could be materially adversely affected.

Our ability to meet customer demand for our products depends, in part, on our ability to deliver the products our customers want on a timely basis. Accordingly, we rely on our supply chain for the manufacturing, distribution and fulfillment of our products. As we continue to grow our business, expand to high-growth adjacent markets, acquire new customers and strengthen relationships with existing customers, the efficiency of our supply chain will become increasingly important because many of our customers tend to have specific requirements for particular products, geographic requirements, and specific time-frames in which they require delivery of these products. If we are unable to consistently deliver the right products to our customers on a timely basis in the right locations, our customers may reduce the quantities they order from us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We outsource to third parties certain supply-chain logistics functions, including portions of our product distribution, transportation management and information technology support services.

We rely on third-party providers to operate our regional product distribution centers and to manage the transportation of our work-in-process and finished products among our facilities, to our third-party manufacturers and to our customers. In addition, we rely on third parties to provide certain information technology services to us, including help desk support, desktop application services, business and software support applications, server and storage administration, data center operations, database administration and voice, video and remote access. We cannot guarantee that these providers will fulfill their respective responsibilities in a timely manner in accordance with the contract terms, in which case our internal operations and the distribution of our products to our customers could be materially adversely affected. Also, we cannot guarantee that our contracts with these third-party providers will be renewed, in which case we would have to transition these functions in-house or secure new providers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business if the transition is not executed appropriately.

Our inability to effectively control the sales of our products on the gray market could have a material adverse effect on us.

We market and sell our products through a global, multi-tier network of authorized distributors, resellers and OEMs. Despite programmatic controls, audits and contractual restrictions, our pricing programs may be misused, and unauthorized resellers or unauthorized resale can occur on the “gray market”. Gray market activities could result in customer satisfaction issues because any time products are purchased outside our authorized distribution channels there is a risk that our customers are buying counterfeit or substandard products, including products that may have been altered, mishandled or damaged, or are used products represented as new. These substandard gray market products may have higher-than-expected failure rates and as a result, we may face brand protection risks, reputational harm or unauthorized warranty claims. Gray market products result in shadow inventory that is not visible to us, making it difficult to forecast demand accurately. Also, when gray market products enter the market, we and our distribution channels compete with these heavily discounted gray market products, which adversely affects demand for our products and negatively impacts our margins. We also face risks of product diversion into restricted markets, including reexports or sales to prohibited end users/end uses. Products acquired on the gray market or through other unauthorized channels are at higher risk of being re-sold to prohibited end-users, misused, and deployed for uses that do not align with AMD’s ethics, values or compliance standards. Despite our compliance programs and procedures for mitigating these risks through customer and transaction screening, distributor audits, law enforcement and NGO cooperation and export control compliance (including licensing where required), we may not fully eliminate these risks.

Climate change may have an impact on our business.

Climate change may adversely affect our business, as well as that of our suppliers and customers. Increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters and climate-related events could impact the major regions where we have operations and could disrupt our business and that of our customers and suppliers. Our headquarters and some of our operations and facilities are located in areas that are susceptible to earthquakes and tsunamis, wildfires, extreme storms, flooding, extreme heat, drought, freezing, tropical cyclones and other natural disasters. Water and energy availability and reliability in the regions where we have facilities and where our suppliers and customers have operations is important to our business. Certain natural disasters could disrupt our operations and our suppliers’ or customers’ operations, including by disrupting, the availability of energy or water necessary for the operations of our business or those of our suppliers and customers. Such disruptions could interrupt our supply chain, delay manufacturing and product shipments, lead to a loss of business and higher costs to maintain or restore operations, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Supply chain delays resulting from climate change related disruptions may lead to contractual disputes, litigation and increasing costs. Data centers depend on access to clean water and reliable energy. Customers’ ability to obtain sufficient energy capacity to meet demand is a complicated, multi-year process that involves regulatory and technical challenges. If customers cannot secure sufficient power or water, or experience outages or shortages of these resources, they may be unable to expand their data center capacity and may reduce or stop purchases from us.

Although we maintain property, casualty, and other insurance, coverage varies by type, availability and cost. Some of our policies have large deductibles and broad exclusions. Additionally, our insurance providers may be unable or unwilling to pay a claim. Losses not covered by insurance may be significant, which could materially harm our results of operations and financial condition.

Our business and the business of our suppliers and customers may also be subject to current and future climate-related regulations, contract terms and lawsuits. Increased regulations on carbon taxes, greenhouse gas emissions, fuel or energy taxes will likely result in greater costs, such as through carbon pricing impact on utilities or through requiring greater renewable energy purchases than otherwise planned.

Our supply chain manufacturing suppliers may incur increased costs of doing business should they be affected by new climate-related expectations such as those affecting abatement equipment, renewable energy, and/or alter production processes and materials selections. The additional compliance costs incurred by our suppliers may be passed on to us and result in greater indirect costs to us. These costs and restrictions could materially harm our business and results of operations by increasing our expenses, damaging our reputation for actual or perceived non-compliance, or requiring us to alter our operations and products. The long-term effects of climate change on the global economy and the technology industry are unclear but could be severe. Additionally, we are or expect to be subject to various new or proposed climate-related disclosure requirements and we expect to incur costs and resources in order to comply. Failure to comply with such reporting obligations may result in enforcement actions, litigation or reputational harm and could have a material adverse effect on us.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

Government actions and regulations such as export regulations, import tariffs, and trade protection measures may limit our ability to export our products to certain customers.

We are subject to U.S. laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, which restrict the export of certain products and technologies to certain countries, including China, Russia, and Belarus, among others. These restrictions may limit our ability to sell certain products or technologies in these markets or to certain customers.

Evolving U.S. government policy toward semiconductor exports, particularly in the context of national security and foreign policy priorities could adversely affect our business. In October 2023, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the United States Department of Commerce issued requirements for the export of certain advanced computing items to a party headquartered in, or with an ultimate parent headquartered in, any of Country Groups D1, D4 or D5, including China (a D5 Country). These controls prevent us from shipping certain AMD Instinct™ integrated circuits and certain AMD Versal™ FPGAs to China, or to customers outside of the United States who are headquartered in—or whose ultimate parent is headquartered in—a D5 Country, without a license. BIS may not timely update performance-based licensing thresholds in the 2023 export requirements and/or may issue new licensing requirements and regulatory controls in the future. Accordingly, there is a risk that new products which exceed current licensing thresholds, or even those below current licensing thresholds, may not succeed because BIS could determine they are subject to licensing requirements. U.S. export restrictions on semiconductors and semiconductor technology to China and Chinese customers negatively impact our ability to sell to customers in China and make it easier for our China-based competitors to develop and sell their own solutions and reduce the need for our products. In April 2025, the U.S. government implemented a new license requirement for the export of certain semiconductor products to a D5 Country, and to companies headquartered in, or with an ultimate parent located in such D5 Country. This restriction impacts our AMD Instinct™ MI308 products. As a result of the restriction, we incurred approximately $800 million in inventory and related charges in the second quarter of 2025. We applied for and were granted some licenses by the U.S. government that allow us to ship our MI308 products to certain China-based customers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we began shipping products and reversed approximately $360 million of the charges recorded earlier in the year. Sales of our MI308 products into China depend on customer demand, China’s import control rules and our ability to obtain licenses. In August 2025, U.S. government officials expressed an expectation that the U.S. government will receive 15% of the revenue generated from licensed MI308 sales to China. However, to date, the U.S. government has not published a regulation establishing such requirement. Any request for a percentage of the revenue by the U.S. government could subject us to litigation, increase our costs and harm our competitive position and benefit competitors that are not subject to such arrangements.

Additional export restrictions imposed in the future may not only impact our ability to serve China but could also impact our ability to serve other markets. If any new export controls impact more of our products, we may be unable to sell our inventory of such products and we may further incur inventory and related charges since there is no assurance that the U.S. government will grant licenses at all or in a timely manner. Even if we are granted licenses, the licenses may be temporary or could impose onerous conditions for us or our customers. If we are not granted licenses, we may be unable to develop a competitive product for the China market that is not subject to licensing requirements. Limits on sales of our offerings in the China market due to export controls could impact our competitive position compared to domestic Chinese competitors and other companies or competitors not subject to the same restrictions. As such, we could lose market position and our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

In January 2025, BIS issued a final rule, commonly referred to as the “AI Diffusion Rule,” that would have imposed new restrictions on the export, reexport and in-country transfer of certain advanced semiconductor devices and technology. In May 2025, BIS announced its intention to rescind the AI Diffusion Rule, publish a regulation formalizing the rescission, and issue replacement rules in the future. The replacement rules may limit our ability to engage in certain business transactions, require new export licenses, delay shipments, or necessitate changes in our compliance processes and product designs to ensure regulatory compliance. Additionally, BIS’s announced plans introduce uncertainty as we evaluate whether specific products, technologies, or software fall within the scope of any new restrictions, and whether BIS will grant licenses in a timely matter or at all. Compliance with the planned or existing rules could result in increased costs, disruption of key customer and supplier relationships, loss of competitive positioning in international markets or reputational harm.

The implementation or increase of any tariffs, trade protection measures or restrictions, or retaliatory actions from foreign governments could result in lost sales and adversely impact our reputation and business. The U.S. government has instituted or proposed changes in trade policies that include higher tariffs on imports into the U.S. and other government regulations affecting trade between the United States and other countries where we conduct our business. Such changes to U.S. trade policy have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy or sectors thereof and could significantly impact our business, in particular the import of products used in our business that are manufactured outside the U.S. Any retaliatory actions by affected countries and foreign governments could result in tariffs, trade protection measures or other restrictions imposed on our current and future products. Our customers’ costs of doing business may increase or their sales may be negatively affected. As such, customer demand for our products may decline, which could adversely impact our ability to generate revenue and result in inventory impairment changes. For instance, tariffs on hardware required for data centers could raise costs for our customers, potentially causing them to delay or cancel AI infrastructure investments. Further, to the extent that the United States, China or other countries seek to promote products that are produced domestically or reduce their dependence on products from another country, they may implement regulations or policies that may negatively affect our business.

The United States and other countries’ export control regulations continue to focus on targeting semiconductors associated with AI, including GPUs and associated products and services, by restricting or prohibiting their unlicensed sale or supply to U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities. The United States has imposed unilateral controls restricting GPUs and associated products, and is likely to further adopt other unilateral or multilateral controls. The scope and application of such controls have been and may continue to be broad, which may prohibit us from exporting or providing access to our products to customers in one or more markets, including but not limited to China, and could negatively impact our manufacturing, testing and warehousing locations, or could impose other conditions that limit our ability to meet demand abroad. If export controls targeting semiconductors associated with AI including GPUs and associated products and services are further tightened, or the classification of our products under those controls’ changes, our ability to export our technology, products or services could be further restricted. We may also be at a competitive disadvantage if our competitors are not subject to the same or similar restrictions or classifications. Such export controls have, and may in the future, subject downstream recipients of our products to additional restrictions on the use, resale, repair or transfer of our products and may have a material adverse effect on us. New export control restrictions may adversely impact the ability of our research and development teams located outside of the United States from executing our product roadmaps in a timely manner or at all. In addition, deemed export restrictions could further affect our ability to provide services or develop products in the United States. Continued changes to export control regulations that we are subject to, or changes to their interpretation and enforcement, could result in greater compliance costs and other compliance burdens on our business and our customers which could adversely impact our business. Export controls have and may continue to encourage customers in China and other markets subject to those controls to pursue alternatives to U.S. semiconductors for their product designs to limit compliance burdens and potential impact on their product roadmaps. From time to time, governments provide incentives or make other investments that could benefit and give a competitive advantage to our competitors. Government incentives may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If our competitors can benefit from such government incentives and we cannot, it could strengthen our competitors’ relative position and have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have equity interests in two joint ventures (collectively, the THATIC JV) with Higon Information Technology Co., Ltd. (THATIC), a third-party Chinese entity. In June 2019, BIS added certain Chinese entities to the Entity List, including THATIC and the THATIC JV. Since that time, the United States administration has called for changes to domestic and foreign policy, including policies with respect to China and Russia. Specifically, United States-China trade relations remain uncertain as the United States continues to add more Chinese companies to the Entity List and introduce new regulations on advanced computing, semiconductor manufacturing, and AI, while China has imposed retaliatory tariffs. Moreover, as the U.S. government continues adding companies to the Entity List, our supply chain may be negatively impacted as we may be required to suspend purchasing from such suppliers or selling to such customers or otherwise unable to fulfill our contractual obligations to them. For example, in September 2025, BIS issued a new rule designating any entity that is at least 50% owned by one or more entities on the Entity List will be subject to Entity List restrictions and this rule similarly applies to entities at least 50% owned by listed “military end users” and certain sanctioned parties. In October 2025, the U.S. government announced that it planned to suspend enforcement of this new rule for one year. However, the restrictions can be reimposed at any time. These restrictive governmental actions and any similar measures that may be imposed on U.S. companies by other governments, especially in light of ongoing trade tensions with U.S. trading partners, will likely limit or prevent us from doing business with certain of our customers or suppliers and harm our ability to compete effectively or otherwise negatively affect our ability to sell our products. If we were ever found to have violated these laws or similar applicable non-U.S. laws, even if the violation occurred without our knowledge, we may be subject to penalties, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition.

We may, from time to time, receive technical data from third parties that is subject to the International Traffic and Arms Regulations (ITAR), which are administered by the U.S. Department of State. Export Administration Regulation (EAR) governs the export and re-export of certain AMD products, including FPGAs, as well as the transfer of related technologies or provision of services, whether in the U.S. or abroad. We are required to maintain an internal compliance program and security infrastructure to meet EAR and ITAR requirements. An inability to obtain the required export licenses, or to predict when or pursuant to which conditions they will be granted, increases the difficulties of forecasting shipments. When we file license applications or Notification Advanced Computing (NAC) exception notices we have no assurance that BIS will grant any exemptions or licenses or that the BIS will act on the filings in a timely manner. Even if BIS grants a requested license, the license may come with burdensome conditions that we cannot or decide not to fulfill. In addition, security or compliance program failures that could result in penalties or a loss of export privileges, as well as stringent licensing restrictions that may make our products less attractive to overseas customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

If we cannot realize our deferred tax assets, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our deferred tax assets include tax credit carryforwards that can be used to offset taxable income and reduce income taxes payable in future periods. Each quarter, we consider both positive and negative evidence to determine whether all or a portion of the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. If we determine that some or all of our deferred tax assets are not realizable, it could result in a material expense in the period in which this determination is made which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to potential tax liabilities, and exposure to greater-than-anticipated income tax liabilities as a result of changes in tax rules and regulations, changes in interpretation of tax rules and regulations, or unfavorable assessments from tax audits, could affect our effective tax rates, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to income tax, indirect tax or other tax claims in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Tax laws are dynamic and subject to change as new laws are passed and new interpretations of the law are issued or applied. Any changes to tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our tax obligations and effective tax rate. Our income tax obligations could be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to, changes to our corporate operating structure, intercompany arrangements, and tax planning strategies.

Table of Contents

Our income tax expense is computed based on tax rates enacted at the time of the respective financial period. Our future effective tax rates, financial condition and results from operations could be unfavorably affected by changes in the tax rates in jurisdictions where our income is earned, by changes in the tax rules and regulations or the interpretation of tax rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we do business or by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets. Many countries have implemented legislation and other guidance to align their international tax rules with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting recommendations and action plan that aim to standardize and modernize global corporate tax policy, including changes to cross-border tax, transfer pricing documentation rules, and nexus-based tax incentive practices. The OECD is also continuing discussions surrounding fundamental changes in allocation of profits among tax jurisdictions in which companies do business, as well as the implementation of a global minimum tax (namely “Pillar One” and “Pillar Two”). In January 2026, the OECD released a "side-by-side" package introducing new safe harbors and providing an exemption for U.S.-based multinational companies from parts of the global minimum tax framework. This guidance is intended to simplify compliance with a permanent simplified Effective Tax Rate safe harbor, a one-year extension of the transitional Country-by-Country Reporting safe harbor and reinforce the role of Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Taxes (QDMTT). While these rules are generally favorable to the Company, they need to be adopted by each country to be considered enacted for financial accounting purposes. As new guidance becomes available in each country, we will continue to evaluate the impact of the proposed and enacted legislative changes to our effective tax rate and cash flows.

In addition, we are subject to examinations of our income tax returns by domestic and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from the current examinations. There can be no assurance that the final determination of any of these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our effective tax rates, financial condition, and results of operations.

In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate income tax, indirect tax, or other tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, we cannot assure that the final determination of any tax audits or litigation will not be materially different from that which is reflected in historical tax provisions and accruals. Should additional taxes be assessed as a result of an audit, assessment or litigation, there could be a material adverse effect on our cash, tax provisions and results of operations in the period or periods for which that determination is made.

We are party to litigation and may become a party to other claims or litigation that could cause us to incur substantial costs or pay substantial damages or prohibit us from selling our products.

From time to time, we are a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions, as described in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements. For example, we have been subject to certain claims concerning federal securities laws and corporate governance. Our products are purchased by and/or used by consumers, which could increase our exposure to consumer actions such as product liability claims and consumer class action claims. On occasion, we receive claims that individuals were allegedly exposed to substances used in our former semiconductor wafer manufacturing facilities and that this alleged exposure caused harm. Litigation can involve complex factual and legal questions, and its outcome is uncertain. It is possible that if a claim is successfully asserted against us, it could result in the payment of damages that could be material to our business.

Table of Contents

With respect to intellectual property litigation, from time to time, we have been notified of, or third parties may bring or have brought, actions against us and/or against our customers based on allegations that we are infringing the intellectual property rights of others, contributing to or inducing the infringement of the intellectual property rights of others, improperly claiming ownership of intellectual property or otherwise improperly using the intellectual property of others. If any such claims are asserted, we may seek to obtain a license under the third parties’ intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain all of the necessary licenses on satisfactory terms, if at all. These parties may file lawsuits against us or our customers seeking damages (potentially up to and including treble damages) or an injunction against the sale of products that incorporate allegedly infringed intellectual property or against the operation of our business as presently conducted, which could result in our having to stop the sale of some of our products or to increase the costs of selling some of our products or which could damage our reputation. The award of damages, including material royalty payments, or other types of damages, or the entry of an injunction against the manufacture and sale of some or all of our products could have a material adverse effect on us. We could decide, in the alternative, to redesign our products or to resort to litigation to challenge such claims. Such challenges could be extremely expensive and time-consuming regardless of their merit, could cause delays in product release or shipment and/or could have a material adverse effect on us. We cannot assure you that litigation related to our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others can always be avoided or successfully concluded.

Even if we were to prevail, any litigation could be costly and time-consuming and would divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are subject to environmental laws, conflict minerals regulations, as well as a variety of other laws or regulations that could result in additional costs and liabilities.

Our operations and properties are subject to various United States and foreign laws and regulations, including those relating to materials used in our products and the manufacturing processes of our products, discharge of pollutants into the environment, the treatment, transport, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and remediation of contamination. In addition, our operations and those of our suppliers are further governed by regulations prohibiting the use of forced labor (e.g., mining conflict materials), and restrictions on other materials, as well as laws or regulations governing the operation of our facilities, sale and distribution of our products, and real property. For the manufacturing of our products, these laws and regulations require our suppliers to obtain permits for operations, including the discharge of air pollutants and wastewater. Although our management systems are designed to oversee our suppliers’ compliance, we cannot assure you that our suppliers have been or will be in complete compliance with such laws, regulations and permits. If our suppliers violate or fail to comply with any of them, a range of consequences could result, including fines, suspension of production, alteration of manufacturing processes, import/export restrictions, sales limitations, criminal and civil liabilities or other sanctions. Such non-compliance from our manufacturing suppliers could result in disruptions in supply, higher sourcing costs, and/or reputational damage for us. We could also be held liable for any and all consequences arising out of exposure to hazardous materials used, stored, released, disposed of by us or located at, under or emanating from our current or former facilities or other environmental or natural resource damage. We have been named as a responsible party at three Superfund sites in Sunnyvale, California and we are subject to Final Site Clean-up Requirements Orders from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board relating to the three sites and we have entered into settlement agreements with other responsible parties on two of the orders. During the term of such agreements, other parties have agreed to assume most of the foreseeable costs as well as the primary role in conducting remediation activities under the orders. We remain responsible for additional costs beyond the scope of the agreements as well as all remaining costs in the event that the other parties do not fulfill their obligations under the settlement agreements. The progress of future remediation efforts cannot be predicted with certainty and these costs may change. Although we have not been, we could be named a potentially responsible party at other Superfund or contaminated sites in the future. In addition, contamination that has not been identified could exist at our other facilities.

Future environmental legal requirements may become more stringent or costly. As such, the costs of complying with current and future environmental and health and safety laws, and our liabilities arising from past and future releases of, or exposure to, hazardous substances may increase and could have a material adverse effect on us.

Environmental laws are complex, change frequently and tend to become more stringent over time. For example, the European Union (EU) and China are among a growing number of jurisdictions that have enacted restrictions on the use of lead and other materials in electronic products. These regulations affect semiconductor devices and packaging. As regulations restricting materials in electronic products continue to increase around the world, there is a risk that the cost, quality and manufacturing yields of products that are subject to these restrictions may be less favorable compared to products that are not subject to such restrictions, or that the transition to compliant products may not meet customer roadmaps, or produce sudden changes in demand, which may result in excess inventory. Jurisdictions including the EU, Australia, California and China are developing or have finalized market entry or public procurement regulations for computers and servers based on ENERGY STAR specifications, and the like, as well as additional energy consumption limits. Certain of our products may be excluded from some of these markets which could materially adversely affect us. We incur costs associated with complying with conflict minerals reporting requirements to our customers and the SEC. In addition to the SEC regulation, the EU, China and other jurisdictions are developing new policies focused on conflict minerals that may impact and increase the cost of our compliance program. Customers are increasingly seeking information about the source of minerals used in our supply chain beyond those addressed in laws and regulations. Given the complexity of mineral supply chains, we may be unable to sufficiently verify the origins of the subject minerals and thus our reputation may be harmed. Moreover, we are likely to encounter challenges to satisfy customers who require that all of the components of our products be certified as “conflict free.” If we cannot satisfy these customers, they may choose a competitor’s products. In addition, new or increased regulations limiting the use of such components, or regulation regarding greenhouse gas emissions and climate change-related risks, could increase our energy costs, for example as a result of carbon pricing impacts on electrical utilities and/or necessitating that we purchase more renewable energy than otherwise planned. Our supply chain manufacturing suppliers may be exposed to increased cost of doing business should they be affected by new climate-related regulations, for example, affecting abatement equipment, renewable energy, and/or alter production processes and materials selections.

In addition to our Company, customers, governments and authorities continue to focus on eliminating risks of forced labor in supply chains which may increase the cost of our compliance program. Several customers have also issued expectations to eliminate these occurrences, if any, that may impact us. While we have a Human Rights Policy and management systems to identify and avoid these practices in our supply chain, we cannot guarantee that our suppliers will always be in conformance with laws and expectations. Our failure to satisfy customer expectations on forced and trafficked labor policies may result in these customers choosing a competitor’s product or enforcement liability and reputational challenges.

In addition, many governments have enacted laws around PII, such as the GDPR and the CCPA, and the failure to comply could result in sanctions or other actions by the governments. The GDPR imposes significant requirements on how we collect, process and transfer personal data, as well as significant fines for non-compliance.

New emerging technology trends, such as AI, require us to keep pace with evolving regulations and industry standards. Given the complexity and rapid development of AI, there are various current and proposed regulatory frameworks relating to the use of AI in products and services. For example, the EU AI Act was adopted in 2024 and its implementation will be phased in over the next few years. In other jurisdictions, similar legislation is being considered. Such laws and regulations may impede our ability to offer certain products and services in certain jurisdictions if we are unable to comply with them. We expect that the legal and regulatory environment relating to emerging technologies such as AI will continue to develop and could increase costs and burdens to us and our customers, delay or halt deployment of new systems using our products, reduce the number for entrants and customers and create compliance risks and potential liability, all which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Governments are also considering the new issues in intellectual property law that AI creates, which could result in different intellectual property rights in technology we create with AI and development processes and procedures and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Evolving expectations from governments, investors, customers and other stakeholders regarding corporate responsibility matters could result in additional costs, harm to our reputation and a loss of customers.

There are evolving expectations from governments, investors, customers and other stakeholders regarding corporate responsibility matters including those involving the environment and climate, energy and water consumption, diversity and inclusion, human rights, governance and cybersecurity. Additionally, we are and expect to continue to be subject to various new and proposed climate-related and sustainability laws and requirements that may impact how we and our suppliers and customers conduct and report on our business by requiring the disclosure and tracking of greenhouse gas emissions, climate change-related risks and other sustainability matters. As corporate responsibility reporting and disclosure requirements continue to evolve, we may incur additional compliance costs and indirect compliance costs that our customers and suppliers may pass on to us. Emerging legal and regulatory requirements in the various jurisdictions in which we operate, can be unpredictable, are subject to change, and may be difficult for us to comply with given the complexity of our supply chain and our outsourced manufacturing. As a result, we may be required to modify our business or supply chain in ways that are costly or less efficient. For example, the state of California has passed reporting requirements that will require corporations to report on climate data and risks, and these laws include data assurance requirements that entail third-party verifications. Our failure to comply, or the appearance of our failure to comply, with these legal and regulatory requirements can result in regulatory penalties, fines and legal liabilities, increase costs, and harm our reputation – any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. While we have engaged, and may continue to engage, in voluntary initiatives (such as voluntary disclosures, certifications, goals, or targets, among others) or commitments to improve our corporate responsibility profile and/or products or to respond to stakeholder expectations, such initiatives or achievement of such commitments may be costly, may not have the desired effect or may impact our reputation with other stakeholders and have a material adverse effect on our business.

For example, we have publicly announced certain corporate responsibility goals spanning multiple topics informed by input from various of our stakeholders, including customers, investors and employees. These goals, which reflect our current plans and aspirations based on known conditions, may change in the future or may not be achieved, as they are subject to various challenges, risks and expectations such as standards, processes, and methodologies that continue to evolve or emerge, and many of these matters are outside our control. Our progress towards some goals receives third-party limited assurance and not reasonable assurance, or may rely on receipt of others’ information and data that may not be subject to either third-party limited or reasonable assurance. Any failure to achieve such goals, failure to achieve these goals within the set timeframe, or the perception by stakeholders of such failure to achieve these goals may result in reputational or financial harm.

Simultaneously, there are efforts by some stakeholders to reduce companies’ efforts on certain environmental, social and governance matters. Both advocates and opponents of environmental, social and governance matters are increasingly resorting to a range of activism forms, including media campaigns and litigation, to advance their perspectives. To the extent we are subject to such activism or litigation, it may require us to incur costs or otherwise adversely impact our business. Stakeholder groups may find our stated goals to be insufficiently responsive to the implications of issues, and any failure to meet stakeholder expectations may result in loss of customers or in investors selling their shares, which could harm our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Issues related to the responsible use of AI may result in reputational, competitive and financial harm and liability.

We offer products that include capabilities to support AI deployment and we expect this part of our business to grow. As with many new emerging technologies, AI presents risks and challenges and increasing legal, social and ethical concerns relating to its responsible use that could affect the adoption of AI, and thus our business. Third-party misuse of AI applications, models, or solutions, or ineffective or inadequate AI development or deployment practices by us or our customers, could cause harm to individuals or society and impair the public’s acceptance of AI. Moreover, we may be subject to competitive harm, regulatory action and legal liability as a result of new and proposed legislation regulating AI, as well as new applications of existing data protection, privacy and intellectual property and other laws. Such regulations and changes thereto could cause us to incur greater compliance costs, could impact our ability to sell or the ability of our customers and users worldwide to acquire, deploy and use systems that include our AI-related products and services and reduce the number of customers, which could negatively impact our business and financial results. As there continues to be an increasing focus on risks related to AI technologies, there may be an increasing focus on regulatory restrictions that target products and services that enable or facilitate AI and that may negatively impact some of our AI-related products and services. If the AI-related products that we offer have unintended consequences, infringe intellectual property rights or rights of publicity, or are misused by our customers or are otherwise controversial due to their perceived or actual impact on human rights, privacy, cybersecurity, employment or other social, economic or political issues the public’s acceptance of AI may be impaired and this may also result in reputational, competitive and financial harm and liability to our business.

The agreements governing our notes, our guarantee of the Assumed Xilinx Notes and the Revolving Credit Agreement impose restrictions on us that may adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

The indentures governing our 3.924% Senior Notes due 2032, 4.393% Senior Notes due 2052, 4.212% Senior Notes due 2026 and 4.319% Senior Notes due 2028 contain various covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: create liens on certain assets to secure debt, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate with, merge into or sell, convey or lease all or substantially all of our assets to any other person.

We unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, Xilinx’s obligations under the Xilinx’s 2.375% Notes due 2030 (the Assumed Xilinx Notes). The supplemental indenture governing the Assumed Xilinx Notes also contain various covenants which limit our ability to, among other things, create certain liens on principal property or the capital stock of certain subsidiaries, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions with respect to principal property, and consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all our assets, taken as a whole, to another person.

We also have an unsecured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion (Revolving Credit Agreement). Our Revolving Credit Agreement contains various covenants which limit our ability to, among other things, incur liens; and consolidate or merge or sell our assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (in each case, except for certain customary exceptions). In addition, our Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. The agreement governing our convertible notes and our Revolving Credit Agreement contains provisions whereby a payment default or acceleration under certain agreements with respect to other material indebtedness would result in cross defaults under our convertible indenture or the Revolving Credit Agreement and allow note holders or the lenders under our Revolving Credit Agreement to declare all amounts outstanding under certain of our indentures or the Revolving Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. If the lenders under our Revolving Credit Agreement accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay those borrowings. Also, we enter into sale and factoring arrangements from time to time with respect to certain accounts receivables, which arrangements are non-recourse to us in the event that an account debtor fails to pay for credit-related reasons and are not included in our indebtedness.

We may be required to satisfy financial obligations under guarantees and other commercial commitments.

From time to time, we enter into commercial arrangements such as long-term capacity purchase agreements, financial guarantees and leases to support customers’ or commercial partners’ infrastructure development. These arrangements may increase our exposure to counterparty risk, such as their inability to secure the necessary capital or financing, delays in project execution and downturns in their business, including insolvency. If we are required to satisfy our financial obligations under these commercial arrangements, our business, operating results, financial and condition may be adversely affected.

Merger, Acquisition, Divestiture, and Integration Risks

Acquisitions, joint ventures, and/or investments, and the failure to integrate acquired businesses, may fail to materialize their anticipated benefits and could disrupt our business, which could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.

We have acquired and invested in businesses, and may continue to do so, that offer products, services and technologies that we believe will help expand our product offerings and services and grow our business in response to changing technologies, customer demands and competitive pressures. Acquisitions and joint ventures include numerous risks including, but not limited to: our inability to identify suitable opportunities in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us; failure to complete a transaction in a timely manner, or at all; inability to obtain, or delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals or IP disputes or other litigation; difficulty in obtaining financing on terms acceptable to us or at all; and failure of a transaction to advance our business strategy or other unforeseen factors. For example, in March 2025, we completed our acquisition of ZT Systems. While we believe that our acquisitions will result in certain benefits, including certain operational synergies, accretion and cost efficiencies, and drive product innovations, achieving these anticipated benefits depends on our ability to successfully integrate the acquired businesses into our business. We cannot be certain that our acquisitions can be successfully integrated with our business in a timely manner or at all, for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: difficulty in integrating the technology, systems, products, policies, processes or operations and integrating and retaining the employees including key personnel of the acquired business; diversion of capital and other resources, including management’s attention from our existing business; unanticipated costs or liabilities, such as increased interest expense and compliance with debt covenants or other obligations; coordinating and integrating in countries in which we have not previously operated; the potential impact of the acquisitions on our relationships with employees, vendors, suppliers and customers; our inability to effectively retain suppliers, vendors and customers of the acquired businesses; entry into geographic or business markets in which we have little or no experience; adverse changes in general economic conditions in regions in which we and the acquired companies operate; potential litigation associated with the acquisitions; difficulties in the assimilation of employees and culture; difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a larger and more complex company; and difficulties with integrating and upgrading our and the acquired companies’ financial reporting systems. If we cannot successfully integrate or are delayed in integrating newly acquired businesses, it could result in increased costs, decreases in expected revenues, diversion of management’s time and attention, negatively impact our ability to develop or sell new products and impair our ability to grow our business, which could materially adversely affect our financial conditions and operating results. Even if the businesses we acquire are successfully integrated, the benefits of such transactions may not be realized within the anticipated time frame or at all. To complete an acquisition, we may issue equity securities, which would dilute our stockholders’ ownership and could adversely affect the price of our common stock, and/or incur debt, assume contingent liabilities or have amortization expenses and write-downs of acquired assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations. From time to time, we may also seek to divest or wind down portions of our business, either acquired or otherwise. Such dispositions involve risks and uncertainties, including our ability to sell such businesses on terms acceptable to us, or at all; litigation; disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; failure to effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to buyer; continued financial obligations and unanticipated liabilities; and closing delays. For example, purchase price consideration received from divestitures can be subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and if such adjustments are material, we may be exposed to losses, which could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Moreover, we may not adequately assess the risks of new business initiatives and subsequent events may arise that alter the risks that were initially considered. Acquisitions, joint ventures and other investments involve significant challenges and risks and could impair our ability to grow our business, develop new products or sell our products, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Acquisitions or joint ventures may also reduce our cash available for operation and other uses which could harm our business. For example, the majority of our ATMP services are provided by the ATMP JVs, and there is no guarantee that the JVs will be able to fulfill our long-term ATMP requirements. If we are unable to meet customer demand due to fluctuating or late supply from the ATMP JVs, it could result in lost sales and have a material adverse effect on our business. We may not realize the expected benefits from the THATIC JV’s expected future performance, including the receipt of any royalties from certain licensed intellectual property. In June 2019, the BIS added certain Chinese entities to the Entity List, including THATIC and the THATIC JV. We are complying with U.S. law pertaining to the Entity List designation.

We invest in both public and private companies to further our strategic objectives and to support certain key business initiatives. We invest in early-stage companies that may still be in the process of developing a strategic direction and may not yet generate revenue. Many of the equity and debt instruments that we invest in are non-marketable and illiquid at the time of our initial investment, and we are not always able to achieve a return. Our ability to realize a return on our investments in private companies typically depends on the company completing a liquidity event, such as a public offering or acquisition. Market conditions and events, particularly in periods with economic uncertainty, inflation, volatile public equity markets or unsettled global market conditions, could cause our investments in public companies to expose us to volatility in our results due to changes in market prices and/or impairments. To the extent any of the companies in which we invest in are not successful, we could recognize an impairment and/or lose all or part of our investment. Our investment portfolio is concentrated in specific sectors and adverse developments in one or any of these sectors due to regulatory changes, technology disruptions or market downturns could negatively impact the performance of our investment portfolio.

Any impairment of our tangible, definite-lived intangible or indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, may adversely impact our financial position and results of operations.

We account for certain acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, with AMD as the accounting acquirer. We record assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed, at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of such assets and liabilities will be recorded as goodwill. These acquisitions resulted in recognition of significant goodwill and other intangible assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. All tangible and intangible assets including goodwill, are subject to impairment testing when events or changes in circumstances suggest that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment testing particularly for goodwill requires significant judgment and assumptions in determining fair value. We monitor for any events or changes in circumstances that may be indicators of impairment, including but not limited to: significant adverse changes in business climate or operating results; changes in management’s business strategy; an inability to successfully introduce new products in the marketplace; an inability to successfully achieve internal forecasts; significant declines in our stock price; significant negative industry; or macroeconomic trends. A deterioration in the long-term economic outlook or expected future cash flows of our business could result in impairment charges, which may have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

General Risks

Our worldwide operations are subject to political, legal and economic risks and natural disasters, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

We maintain operations around the world, including in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Latin America and Asia. We rely on third-party wafer foundries in the United States, Europe and Asia. Nearly all product assembly and final testing of our products is performed at third-party operated manufacturing facilities, in China, Malaysia and Taiwan. Our shipping services are provided by third-party subcontractors. We also have international sales operations. International sales, as a percent of net revenue, were 67% for the year ended December 27, 2025. We expect that international sales will continue to be a significant portion of total sales in the foreseeable future. The political, legal and economic risks associated with our worldwide operations include, without limitation: expropriation; changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions; changes in tax laws, trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements and restrictions; imposition of new and increased tariffs; worsening trade relationship between the United States and China (or other countries); volatile global economic conditions, including downturns or recessions in which some competitors may become more aggressive in their pricing practices; difficulties in protecting our intellectual property; difficulties in managing staffing and exposure to different employment practices and labor laws; changes in immigration law and regulations; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; restrictions on transfers of funds and other assets of our subsidiaries between jurisdictions; changes in freight rates; changes to macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, inflation and recession; transportation restrictions or disruptions; loss or modification of exemptions for taxes and tariffs; and compliance with U.S. laws and regulations related to international operations, including export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Changes in the public perception of the U.S. government in the regions where we operate or plan to operate could also negatively impact our business and results of operations. Geopolitical tensions, such as the Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Hamas and Venezuela conflicts, could escalate and expand, which in turn could have negative impacts on the global economy and financial markets. Also, in addition to restrictions imposed by the United States or China on exports or imports from one another, geopolitical changes between China and Taiwan could disrupt the operations of our Taiwan-based third-party wafer foundries, manufacturing facilities and subcontractors, and materially adversely affect delivery of products and our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

In addition, our worldwide operations (or those of our business partners) could be subject to natural disasters and climate change such as earthquakes, tsunamis, flooding, tropical cyclones, droughts, fires, sea-level rise, extreme heat and volcanic eruptions that disrupt our operations, or those of our manufacturers, vendors or customers. For example, our California operations are located near major earthquake fault lines. In April 2024, Taiwan experienced an earthquake where our third-party wafer foundries are located. We also have operations and employees in regions that have experienced extreme weather such as prolonged heat waves, wildfires and freezing. Extreme weather events and natural disasters can also disrupt the ability of our suppliers to deliver expected manufacturing parts and/or services for periods of time. In addition, certain natural disasters, including drought, wildfires, storms, sea-level rise and flooding, could disrupt the availability of water necessary for the operations of our business or the business of our suppliers or customers. Global climate change also may result in chronic changes that result in certain natural disasters occurring more frequently or with greater intensity, which could disrupt our operations, or the operations of our third parties. There may be conflict or uncertainty in the countries in which we, our customers and suppliers operate, including public health issues, epidemics and pandemics, safety issues, natural disasters, fire, disruptions of service from utilities, nuclear power plant accidents or general economic or political factors. Global health outbreaks, such as COVID-19, have and may adversely affect our employees and disrupt our business operations, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. Public health measures by government authorities may cause us to incur additional costs, limit our operations, modify our business practices, diminish employee productivity or disrupt our supply chain, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.

The U.S. has been and may continue to be involved in armed conflicts that could have a further impact on our sales and our supply chain. The consequences of armed conflict, political instability or civil or military unrest are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have a material adverse effect on us. Terrorist attacks or other hostile acts may negatively affect our operations, or adversely affect demand for our products, and such attacks or related armed conflicts may impact our physical facilities or those of our suppliers or customers. Furthermore, these attacks or hostile acts may make travel and the transportation of our products more difficult and more expensive, which could materially adversely affect us. Any of these events could cause consumer spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the U.S. economy and worldwide financial markets.

Any of the above risks, should they occur, could result in increased costs, shipment delays, general business interruptions, the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining export licenses for certain technology, penalties or a loss of export privileges. Additionally, stringent licensing restrictions may make our products less attractive to international customers, tariffs and other barriers and restrictions, longer payment cycles, increased taxes, restrictions on the repatriation of funds and the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws are all factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may incur future impairments of our technology license purchases.

We license certain third-party technologies and tools for the design and production of our products. We report the value of those licenses as other non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and we periodically evaluate the carrying value of those licenses based on their future economic benefit to us. Factors such as the life of the assets, changes in competing technologies, and changes to the business strategy may represent an indicator of impairment. The occurrence of any of these events may require us to record future technology license impairment charges.

Our inability to continue to attract and retain key employees may hinder our business.

Our success depends upon the continued service of numerous qualified engineering, marketing, sales and executive employees. The market for qualified and skilled executives and employees in the technology industry, especially in the areas of AI and machine learning, is highly competitive. Our competitors have targeted individuals in our organization that have desired skills and experience. If we are unable to continue to attract, develop and retain our leadership team and our qualified employees necessary for our business, the progress of our product development programs could be hindered, and we could be materially adversely affected. We use share-based incentive awards to help attract, retain and motivate our executives and qualified employees. If the value of such stock awards does not appreciate as measured by the performance of the price of our common stock, or if our share-based compensation otherwise ceases to be viewed as a valuable benefit, our ability to attract, retain and motivate our executives and employees could be affected, which could harm our results of operations. If the value of our stock awards increases substantially, this could potentially create great personal wealth for our executives and key talent and affect our ability to retain our employees. Our ability to attract and retain qualified employees could also be impacted by changes in immigration law and regulations, or interpretation of new or existing laws. United States immigration controls could affect the employment status of key technical and professional employees, as well as our ability to hire talent globally. Any future restructuring plans may also adversely impact our ability to attract and retain key employees.

Our stock price is subject to volatility.

Our stock price has experienced price and volume fluctuations and could be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. The trading price of our stock may fluctuate widely due to various factors including: actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial conditions and operating results; failure to meet expectations related to future growth; changes in financial estimates by us or financial estimates and ratings by securities analysts; changes in our capital structure, including issuance of additional debt or equity to the public; competitive landscape; news regarding our products or products of our competitors or other actions taken by competitors; broad market industry and competitor-related fluctuations; and general economic, political and market conditions, including imposition of new or increased tariffs and other trade restrictions, interest rate changes and inflation. Stock price fluctuations could impact the value of our equity compensation, which could affect our ability to recruit and retain employees. In addition, volatility in our stock price could adversely affect our business and financing opportunities.

We have an approved stock repurchase program that authorizes repurchases of up to $14 billion of our common stock (Repurchase Program). As of December 27, 2025, $9.4 billion remained available for future stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any common stock, has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Our stock repurchases could affect the trading price of our stock, the volatility of our stock price, reduce our cash reserves, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time, which may result in a decrease in our stock price.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information.

We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) and other industry practices and standards. This does not mean that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, but only that we use the NIST CSF, AI RMF, and other industry practices and standards as guides to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.

Information about cybersecurity risks and our risk management processes is collected, analyzed and considered as part of our overall enterprise risk management program.

Key components of our cybersecurity risk management program include:

•periodic risk assessments designed to help identify cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment;

•a security team principally responsible for managing our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, our security controls, and our detection and response to cybersecurity incidents;

•the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, evaluate, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls and processes;

•active testing including penetration tests, attack simulations and tabletop exercises;

•cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel and senior management;

•a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and

•a third-party cyber risk management process for vendors including, among other things, a security assessment and contracting program for vendors based on their risk profile.

At this time, we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face certain ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See “Risk Factors - IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyberattacks could disrupt operations and compromise our intellectual property or other sensitive information, be costly to remediate or cause significant damage to our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.”

Cybersecurity Governance

Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit and Finance Committee (Committee) oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.

The Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Committee, as necessary, regarding any significant cybersecurity incidents.

The Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board also receives a briefing from management on our cyber risk management program at least annually. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity matters from our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), information security team or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies. The CISO reports to the Chief Information Officer (CIO).

Our CISO has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program, and directly supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and any retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our CISO has over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity including security operations, security architecture, identity and access management, cloud security, vulnerability management, and application/product security, policy, and compliance.

Table of Contents

Our CISO is informed about and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include, among other things, briefings with internal security personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us, and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our IT environment. Together the CIO and the CISO keep management informed and updated on the cyber risk management program, key cyber risks, and significant incidents.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of December 27, 2025, we have approximately 6.8 million square feet of space for research and development, engineering, administrative and warehouse use throughout the world. These facilities include approximately 5.4 million square feet of leased space and approximately 1.4 million square feet of owned space. Our headquarters are located in Santa Clara, California, and we have significant operations in Austin, Texas; San Jose, California; Shanghai, China; Markham, Ontario, Canada; Longmont, Colorado; Dublin, Ireland; Singapore; and Bengaluru and Hyderabad, India. We also have a number of regional sales offices located in commercial centers near customers, principally in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

We currently do not anticipate difficulty in either retaining occupancy of any of our facilities through lease renewals prior to expiration or through month-to-month occupancy or replacing them with equivalent facilities. We believe that our existing facilities are suitable and adequate for our present purposes and that the productive capacity of such facilities is substantially being utilized or we have plans to utilize such capacity.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol “AMD”. On January 30, 2026, there were 5,094 registered holders of our common stock, and the closing price of our common stock was $236.73 per share as reported on NASDAQ.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We have an approved stock repurchase program authorizing repurchases of up to $14 billion of our common stock (Repurchase Program). We expect to fund repurchases through cash generated from operations. Our Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any common stock, has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended December 27, 2025. As of December 27, 2025, $9.4 billion remained available for future stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program.

Equity Award Share Withholding

Shares of common stock withheld as payment of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting or exercise of equity awards are also treated as common stock repurchases. Those withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under an authorized common stock repurchase plan. During fiscal year 2025, we withheld approximately 3.8 million shares at an average price of $164.86 per share as payment of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting and exercise of equity awards.

For information about our equity compensation plans, see Part III, Item 11, below.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025 and related notes, which are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as with the other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, “Part II, Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Introduction

In this section, we will describe the general financial condition and the results of operations of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “us,” “our” or “AMD”), including a discussion of our results of operations for 2025 compared to 2024, an analysis of changes in our financial condition and a discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements. Discussions of 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.

Overview

In 2025, we delivered strong annual revenue growth with net revenue increasing 34% to $34.6 billion, compared to $25.8 billion in 2024. This growth was driven by the performance of our Data Center and Client and Gaming segments. Data Center net revenue of $16.6 billion increased by 32% compared to $12.6 billion in 2024, primarily driven by strong demand for our 5th generation AMD EPYC™ processors and AMD Instinct™ MI350 Series GPUs. Client and Gaming segment net revenue of $14.6 billion in 2025 increased by 51% compared to $9.6 billion in 2024, primarily driven by strong demand for our AMD Ryzen™ processors, semi-custom game consoles SoCs and Radeon™ gaming GPUs. The increase in annual net revenue was partially offset by a decrease in net revenue in our Embedded segment. Embedded net revenue of $3.5 billion decreased by 3% compared to net revenue of $3.6 billion in 2024, as certain end market demand remained mixed.

Gross margin of 50% increased by 1% compared to 49% in 2024, primarily due to product mix partially offset by approximately $440 million of net inventory and related charges associated with the U.S. government export control on AMD Instinct™ MI308 Data Center GPU products.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 27, 2025 were $10.6 billion, compared to $5.1 billion at the end of 2024. Our aggregate principal amount of total debt as of December 27, 2025 was $3.3 billion, compared to $1.8 billion as of December 28, 2024.

In 2025, we returned a total of $1.3 billion to shareholders through the repurchase of 12.4 million shares of common stock under our stock repurchase program. As of December 27, 2025, $9.4 billion remained available for future stock repurchases under this program. The stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any common stock, has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

During 2025, we launched multiple leadership products and made significant progress executing our AI strategy. A priority in 2025 was accelerating growth in the Data Center segment. Demand for our data center AI GPU products was strong as large hyperscale customers, OEMs and ODMs deployed our AMD Instinct MI350X Series GPUs. We advanced our AMD AI GPU roadmap to deliver an annual cadence of leadership for AMD Instinct solutions, beginning with the AMD Instinct MI350 Series GPUs in 2025. Beyond GPUs, we launched the 5th Gen AMD EPYC family of server processors in 2025, which deliver leadership performance and capabilities for a wide range of data center workloads, including AI. We also expanded the data center portfolio with new networking solutions, including the AMD Pensando™ “Pollara” 400 AI NICs and “Vulcano” AI NICs, which deliver high-speed connectivity across GPU clusters providing high-performance, AI-ready, flexible solutions for scale-out networking. In addition, we previewed our Helios AI rack-scale platform solution that incorporates all of our data center products (CPUs, GPUs and Networking) to address the growing AI compute requirements.

Across Client and Gaming, we continued to strengthen our leadership with expanding enterprise adoption and a growing portfolio of AMD Ryzen processors. For gamers, creators and developers, we brought to market AMD Radeon 9000 Series GPUs and Radeon AI PRO 9700 GPUs based on the AMD RDNA 4 graphics architecture to market along new high-performance Ryzen Threadripper™ 9000 Series processors. Our x86 Embedded portfolio continued to expand in 2025 with the introduction of three new AMD EPYC embedded processor series: AMD EPYC Embedded 9005 Series, EPYC Embedded 4005 Series and EPYC Embedded 2005 Series.

We also made strategic investments through acquisitions to further advance our software capabilities including compiler and AI expertise in machine learning, inference and performance optimization, and enable highly optimized solutions across the stack; to scale our ability to support and develop a variety of photonics and co-packaged optics solutions across next-gen AI systems; and to bring deep expertise in high-speed inference and reasoning-based AI technologies for large-scale deployments, reinforcing our enterprise AI software stack.

To execute our AI strategy, we brought in multiple AI teams across AMD to drive development of a comprehensive software ecosystem spanning our full product portfolio. We delivered key optimizations and expanded framework and library support in the latest version of AMD ROCm™ software, improving performance for generative AI workloads and simplifying the developer experience across training and inference.

In March 2025, we completed the acquisition of ZT Systems for $3.2 billion in cash and 8.3 million shares of our common stock. We retained select intellectual property and employees associated with the design operations (ZT Design Business), and in October 2025, we sold the ZT data center infrastructure manufacturing business (ZT Manufacturing Business) to Sanmina Corporation (Sanmina) for $2.4 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and 1.2 million shares of Sanmina common stock. We are eligible to receive additional contingent cash consideration of up to $450 million from Sanmina to the extent certain conditions are met. Sanmina will also be our preferred partner for manufacturing capabilities in building complex AI solutions. Following the close of the sale of the ZT Manufacturing Business to Sanmina, we retained certain intellectual property and former employees of ZT Systems (ZT Design Business) and settled the contingent consideration liability with the former ZT shareholders and warrant holders.

In October 2025, we entered into a product purchase agreement with OpenAI OpCo, LLC, (OpenAI) to deploy 6 gigawatts of AMD GPUs, with the deployment of the first gigawatt of capacity powered by our AMD Instinct MI450 series products. Concurrent with the agreement, we issued to OpenAI a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 160 million shares of AMD’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrant shares will vest in tranches based on certain AMD Instinct GPU purchase milestones by OpenAI, or its affiliates, or indirectly through third parties, and achievement of specified AMD stock price targets and stock performance. Each vested tranche is further subject to the fulfillment of certain other technical and commercial conditions prior to exercise. Subject to certain conditions, the warrant is exercisable through October 5, 2030. None of the warrant shares met the vesting or exercise conditions and the warrant had no impact to our financial statements for the year ended December 27, 2025.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded approximately $800 million of inventory and related charges on AMD Instinct MI308 Data Center GPU products due to new U.S. export restrictions on certain semiconductors to China. We applied for and were granted some licenses by the U.S. government that allow us to ship MI308 products to certain China-based customers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we began shipping products and reversed approximately $360 million of the inventory and related charges recorded earlier in the year. U.S. government officials have expressed an expectation that the U.S. government will receive 15% of the revenue generated from licensed MI308 sales to China; however, to date, the U.S. government has not published a regulation establishing such requirement.

We intend the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, the primary factors that resulted in those changes, and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our financial statements.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to our revenue, inventories, business combinations, goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Although actual results have historically been reasonably consistent with management’s expectations, the actual results may differ from these estimates or our estimates may be affected by different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting estimates are the most significant to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Revenue Allowances. Revenue contracts with our customers include variable amounts which we evaluate under ASC 606-10-32-8 through 14 in order to determine the net amount of consideration to which we are entitled and which we recognize as revenue. We determine the net amount of consideration to which we are entitled by estimating the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive from the customer after adjustments to the contract price for rights of return and rebates to our original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original design manufacturer (ODM) customers and rights of return, rebates and price protection on unsold merchandise to our distributor customers.

We base our determination of necessary adjustments to the contract price by reference to actual historical activity and experience, including actual historical returns, rebates and credits issued to OEM and distributor customers adjusted, as applicable, to include adjustments, if any, for known events or current economic conditions, or both.

Our estimates of necessary adjustments for distributor price incentives and price protection on unsold products held by distributors are based on actual historical incentives provided to distributor customers and known future price movements based on our internal and external market data analysis.

Our estimates of necessary adjustments for OEM price incentives utilize, in addition to known pricing agreements, actual historical rebate attainment rates and estimates of future OEM rebate program attainment based on internal and external market data analysis.

We offer incentive programs through cooperative advertising and marketing promotions. Where funds provided for such programs can be estimated, we recognize a reduction to revenue at the time the related revenue is recognized; otherwise, we recognize such reduction to revenue at the later of when: i) the related revenue transaction occurs; or ii) the program is offered. For transactions where we reimburse a customer for a portion of the customer’s cost to perform specific product advertising or marketing and promotional activities, such amounts are recognized as a reduction to revenue unless they qualify for expense recognition.

We also provide limited product return rights to certain OEMs and to most distribution customers. These return rights are generally limited to a contractual percentage of the customer’s prior quarter shipments, although, from time to time we may approve additional product returns beyond the contractual arrangements based on the applicable facts and circumstances. In order to estimate adjustments to revenue to account for these returns, including product restocking rights provided to distributor and OEM customers, we utilize relevant, trended actual historical product return rate information gathered, adjusted for actual known information or events, as applicable.

Overall, our estimates of adjustments to contract price due to variable consideration under our contracts with OEM and distributor customers, based on our assumptions and include adjustments, if any, for known events, have been materially consistent with actual results; however, these estimates are subject to management’s judgment and actual provisions could be different from our estimates and current provisions, resulting in future adjustments to our revenue and operating results.

Table of Contents

Inventory Valuation. We value inventory at standard cost, adjusted to approximate the lower of actual cost or estimated net realizable value using assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Material assumptions we use to estimate necessary inventory carrying value adjustments can be unique to each product and are based on specific facts and circumstances. In determining excess or obsolescence reserves for products, we consider assumptions such as changes in business and economic conditions, other-than-temporary decreases in demand for our products, and changes in technology or customer requirements. In determining the lower of cost or net realizable value reserves, we consider assumptions such as recent historical sales activity and selling prices, as well as estimates of future selling prices. If in any period we anticipate a change in assumptions such as future demand or market conditions to be less favorable than our previous estimates, additional inventory write-downs may be required and would be reflected in cost of sales, resulting in a negative impact to our gross margin in that period. If in any period we are able to sell inventories that had been written down to a level below the ultimate realized selling price in a previous period, related revenue would be recorded with a lower or no offsetting charge to cost of sales resulting in a net benefit to our gross margin in that period.

Business Combinations. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration for acquisitions meeting the requirement of business combinations to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to assets and liabilities held for sale, intangible assets and contingent consideration. Significant estimates and inputs used in valuing acquired assets and liabilities held for sale, developed technology, and other identifiable intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future revenue, future changes in technology, useful lives, risk-adjusted discount rates and time and costs to recreate certain assets. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Allocation of purchase consideration to identifiable assets and liabilities affects our amortization expense, as acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful life, whereas any indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized.

Goodwill. Goodwill is the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations. Our reporting units are at the operating segment level. Our goodwill is contained within three reporting units: Data Center, Client and Gaming, and Embedded. We perform our goodwill impairment analysis as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on a more frequent basis. The analysis may include both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of an impairment, which occurs when the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of our reporting units to determine if the fair values of those units exceed their carrying values. We may obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists to help in determining the fair value of our reporting units. Changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the business or in the macroeconomic environment in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and could result in a decline in fair value that would trigger future impairment charges of our reporting units’ goodwill. Based on our annual qualitative impairment test, we concluded that it is not more likely than not that the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeded its fair value.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets. Long-lived and intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist and at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets. Impairment indicators are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. When indicators of impairment exist and assets are held for use, we estimate future undiscounted cash flows attributable to the related asset groups. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to the asset group or based on appraisals.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes. In determining taxable income for financial statement reporting purposes, we must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of deferred tax assets which arise from temporary differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement reporting purposes. We regularly assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets. Unless recovery is considered more-likely-than-not (a probability level of more than 50%), we will record a charge to income tax expense in the form of a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be recoverable or maintain the valuation allowance recorded in prior periods. When considering all available evidence, if we determine it is more-likely-than-not we will realize our deferred tax assets, we will reverse some or all of the existing valuation allowance, which would result in a credit to income tax expense and the establishment of an asset in the period of reversal.

In determining the need to establish or maintain a valuation allowance, we consider the four sources of jurisdictional taxable income: (i) carryback of net operating losses to prior years; (ii) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; (iii) viable and prudent tax planning strategies; and (iv) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards.

Certain state and foreign valuation allowances are maintained due to a lack of sufficient sources of future taxable income.

In addition, the calculation of our tax liabilities involves addressing uncertainties in the application of complex, multi-jurisdictional tax rules and the potential for future adjustment of our uncertain tax positions by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities.

Data Center

Data Center net revenue of $16.6 billion in 2025 increased by 32%, compared to net revenue of $12.6 billion in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by strong demand for our AMD EPYC™ processors and AMD Instinct™ GPU accelerators.

Data Center operating income was $3.6 billion in 2025, compared to operating income of $3.5 billion in 2024. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales, approximately $440 million of net inventory and related charges associated with the U.S. government export control on AMD Instinct™ MI308 Data Center GPU products and higher operating expenses.

Client and Gaming

Client and Gaming net revenue of $14.6 billion in 2025 increased by 51%, compared to net revenue of $9.6 billion in 2024.

Client net revenue of $10.6 billion in 2025 increased by 51%, compared to net revenue of $7.1 billion in 2024, primarily driven by a 31% increase in unit shipments of processors and a 15% increase in average selling price of processors, reflecting strong demand for AMD desktop and mobile Ryzen processors.

Gaming net revenue of $3.9 billion in 2025 increased by 51%, compared to net revenue of $2.6 billion in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher semi-custom revenue and strong demand of our Radeon™ gaming GPUs.

Client and Gaming operating income was $2.9 billion in 2025, compared to operating income of $1.2 billion in 2024. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by higher revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales and operating expenses.

Table of Contents

Embedded

Embedded net revenue of $3.5 billion in 2025 decreased by 3%, compared to net revenue of $3.6 billion in 2024. Net revenue decreased as certain end market demand remained mixed.

Embedded operating income was $1.2 billion in 2025, compared to operating income of $1.4 billion in 2024. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by lower revenue.

All Other

All Other operating loss of $4.0 billion in 2025 primarily consisted of $2.3 billion of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and $1.6 billion of stock-based compensation expense. All Other operating loss of $4.2 billion in 2024 primarily consisted of $2.4 billion of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and $1.4 billion of stock-based compensation expense.

International Sales

International sales as a percentage of net revenue were 67% in 2025 and 66% in 2024. We expect that international sales will continue to be a significant portion of total sales in the foreseeable future. Substantially all of our sales transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	66			—

Gross Margin

Gross margin of 50% increased by 1% compared to 49% in 2024, primarily due to product mix, partially offset by approximately $440 million of net inventory and related charges associated with the U.S. government export control on AMD Instinct™ MI308 Data Center GPU products.

Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses of $8.1 billion in 2025 increased by $1.6 billion, or 25%, compared to $6.5 billion in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher employee-related costs from an increase in headcount in support of our continued focus on our AI strategy.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses of $4.1 billion in 2025 increased by $1.4 billion, or 52%, compared to $2.7 billion in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in go-to-market activities to support our revenue growth.

Table of Contents

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles of $2.3 billion for 2025 decreased by $140 million, or 6%, compared to $2.4 billion in 2024, primarily due to a lower balance of amortizable acquisition-related intangibles compared to the prior year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $131 million in 2025 increased by $39 million compared to $92 million in 2024, primarily due to the issuance of $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of 4.212% Notes and 4.319% Notes in March 2025.

Other Income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net is primarily comprised of interest income from short-term investments, changes in valuation of long-term investments and foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

Other income (expense), net of $577 million in 2025 increased by $396 million compared to $181 million in 2024, primarily due to higher unrealized gains from long-term investments compared to the prior year.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

We recorded an income tax benefit of $103 million and an income tax provision of $381 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing effective tax rates of (2.5%) and 19%, respectively. The decrease in income tax provision in 2025 was primarily driven by an $853 million benefit related to the release of uncertain tax positions pertaining to the reasonable cause relief for dual consolidated losses approved by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in April 2025, whereas the income tax provision in 2024 included $373 million tax effect from an intercompany integration transaction.

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted into law. For fiscal year 2025, the primary impact of the OBBBA to our tax provision was the accelerated expensing of domestic R&D activities which decreased our income eligible for FDII, reduced our deferred tax assets, and reduced our current income tax liability. Other OBBBA changes did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Global Minimum Tax

The OECD is continuing discussions surrounding fundamental changes in allocation of profits among tax jurisdictions in which companies do business, as well as the implementation of a global minimum tax (namely the “Pillar One” and “Pillar Two” proposals). The Council of the European Union has adopted the global corporate 15% minimum tax as provided for in Pillar Two and has directed EU member states to implement legislation enacting Pillar Two. Many countries, including non-EU member states, have implemented laws based on Pillar Two proposals, with effective dates that started in 2024. Although many countries have already introduced Pillar Two legislation applicable to us effective in 2024, certain jurisdictions in which we operate have not adopted corresponding legislation to date. For 2024 and 2025, the impact to us associated with Pillar Two was immaterial.

In January 2026, the OECD released a "side-by-side" package introducing new safe harbors and providing an exemption for U.S.-based multinational companies from parts of the global minimum tax framework. We continue to evaluate the impact of proposed and enacted legislative changes to our effective tax rate and cash flows as new guidance becomes available in each country.

Discontinued Operations

Net income from discontinued operations for 2025 was $66 million, net of tax expense of $54 million. This includes the results of operations of the ZT Manufacturing Business and the change in fair value of contingent consideration liability of $121 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 27, 2025, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $10.6 billion compared to $5.1 billion as of December 28, 2024.

Table of Contents

Our operating, investing and financing cash flow activities for 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

	December 27, 2025		December 28, 2024
	(In millions)
Net cash provided by (used in):

Financing activities	(431)		(2,062)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	1,745	$	(122)

In March and October 2025, we paid a total of $2.0 billion in cash, net of cash acquired, and issued 9.1 million shares of our common stock in the acquisition of ZT Systems.

In October 2025, upon completion of the sale of the ZT Manufacturing Business to Sanmina Corporation (Sanmina), we received a total of $1.4 billion in cash, net of cash divested, and 1.2 million shares of Sanmina common stock valued at $154 million. We are eligible to receive additional cash consideration of up to $450 million to the extent certain conditions are met following the close of the sale through 2028 (Sanmina Earn-out).

As of December 27, 2025, our aggregate principal debt was $3.3 billion, with short-term and long-term debt obligations of $874 million and $2.3 billion, respectively.

We have $3.0 billion available under an unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on April 29, 2027. No funds were drawn from this credit facility during the year ended December 27, 2025.

We also have a commercial paper program to issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum principal amount outstanding, at any time, of $3.0 billion, with a maturity of up to 397 days from the date of issue. We had no commercial paper outstanding as of December 27, 2025.

As of December 27, 2025, we had unconditional commitments of approximately $12.2 billion, of which $8.5 billion are in fiscal year 2026. Our contractual obligations and purchase commitments relate primarily to our obligations to purchase wafers and substrates from third parties and future payments related to multi-year cloud service provider arrangements, and certain software and technology licenses. We work continually with our suppliers on the timing of payments and deliveries of purchase commitments, taking into account business conditions. We also have commitments for leases that have commenced for approximately $940 million and leases that have not yet commenced for $1.3 billion. See Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies for contractual obligations and purchase commitments and Note 10 - Leases for lease obligations.

We believe our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash flows from operations along with our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program will be sufficient to fund operations, including capital expenditures, purchase and lease commitments, and strategic activities over the next 12 months and beyond. We believe we will be able to access the capital markets should we require additional funds. However, we cannot assure that such funds will be available on favorable terms, or at all.

Operating Activities

Our working capital cash inflows and outflows from operations consist primarily of cash collections from our customers, payments for inventory purchases and payments for employee-related expenditures.

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $6.5 billion in 2025, primarily due to our net income of $4.3 billion in 2025, adjusted for non-cash adjustments of $4.6 billion and net cash outflows of $2.4 billion from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The primary drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $2.2 billion increase in inventory primarily to support the continued ramp of Data Center products in advanced process technology nodes. Net cash provided by operating activities of the ZT Manufacturing Business, classified as discontinued operations, was $1.2 billion.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 billion in 2024, primarily due to our net income of $1.6 billion in 2024, adjusted for non-cash adjustments of $3.5 billion and net cash outflows of $2.1 billion from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The primary drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $1.9 billion increase in accounts receivable driven primarily by higher revenue in the last month of 2024 compared to the last month of 2023, and a $1.5 billion increase in inventories driven primarily by a build of inventory to support the ramp of new products in advanced process nodes.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $6.9 billion in 2025, which primarily consisted of $5.5 billion of cash used for purchases of short-term investments, $1.8 billion of cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired and $1.0 billion for purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $1.8 billion proceeds from maturities of short-term investments. Net cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations in 2025 was $1.3 billion, primarily from the sale of the ZT Manufacturing Business.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 billion in 2024, which primarily consisted of cash used for purchases of short-term investments of $1.5 billion, purchases of property and equipment of $636 million, and cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $548 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities of short-term investments of $1.4 billion and sale of short-term investments of $616 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $431 million in 2025, which primarily consisted of $1.3 billion of common stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program and $607 million of stock repurchases for tax withholding on employee equity plans, partially offset by $1.5 billion of net cash received from issuance of debt, net of repayments, and $285 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee equity plans. There was no net cash provided by financing activities of discontinued operations for the year ended December 27, 2025.

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.1 billion in 2024, which primarily consisted of common stock repurchases of $862 million under the Repurchase Program, repurchases to cover tax withholding on employee equity plans of $728 million, and repayment of the 2.95% Notes of $750 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee equity plans of $279 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 27, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had, or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and long-term debt. We usually invest our cash in investments with short maturities or with frequent interest reset terms. Accordingly, our interest income fluctuates with short-term market conditions. As of December 27, 2025, our investment portfolio consisted of fixed income instruments, time deposits and commercial paper. Our primary aim with our investment portfolio is to invest available cash while preserving principal and meeting liquidity needs. In accordance with our investment policy, we place investments with high credit quality issuers and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer based upon the issuer's credit rating. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical 50 basis-point (half percentage point) increase or decrease in interest rates compared to rates on December 27, 2025 would have affected the fair value of our cash equivalent and investment portfolio by approximately $25 million.

As of December 27, 2025, all of our outstanding long-term debt had fixed interest rates. Consequently, our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates on reported interest expense and corresponding cash flows is minimal.

We will continue to monitor our exposure to interest rate risk.

Default Risk. We mitigate default risk in our investment portfolio by investing in only high credit quality securities and by constantly positioning our portfolio to respond to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. Our portfolio includes investments in marketable debt securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. We are averse to principal loss and strive to preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk and market risk.

We actively monitor market conditions and developments specific to the securities and security classes in which we invest. We believe that we take a conservative approach to investing our funds in that we invest only in highly-rated debt securities with relatively short maturities and do not invest in securities which we believe involve a higher degree of risk. As of December 27, 2025, all of our investments in debt securities were A-rated by at least one of the rating agencies. While we believe we take prudent measures to mitigate investment-related risks, such risks cannot be fully eliminated as there are circumstances outside of our control.

Long-term Investment Risk. Our long-term investments are held in both marketable and non-marketable equity securities and other instruments. Marketable equity securities include investments in publicly traded companies. Non-marketable equity securities and other instruments include investments in privately held companies, which are often in a start-up or early development stage and are inherently risky. The technologies of these privately held companies are under research or development, typically in the early stages and may never materialize, and may result in a loss of our investment in these companies. As of December 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of our investments in publicly traded companies was $198 million and $0, respectively, and the carrying value of our non-marketable equity securities and other instruments was $1.3 billion and $468 million, respectively. These securities are subject to a wide variety of market-related risks that could substantially reduce or increase the fair value of our holdings. We regularly review our non-marketable equity securities and other instruments for potential impairment.

Foreign Exchange Risk. As a result of our foreign operations, we incur costs and we carry assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies, while sales of products are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. We maintain a foreign currency hedging strategy which uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This strategy takes into consideration all of our exposures. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, our portfolio of foreign currency forward contracts had an aggregate notional amount of $3.4 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. All forward contracts mature within 24 months. Our foreign currency forward contracts cover a range of currencies tied to our global operations, including but not limited to the Indian Rupee, Canadian Dollar and Chinese Renminbi. As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the estimated net fair‑value position of these forwards was a $12 million gain and $66 million loss, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – The Company

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is a global semiconductor company. References herein to AMD or the Company mean Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. AMD’s products include Artificial Intelligence (AI) Accelerators, microprocessors (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs), as standalone devices or as incorporated into accelerated processing units (APUs), chipsets, data center and professional GPUs, embedded processors, semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products, microprocessor and SoC development services and technology, data processing units (DPUs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), System on Modules (SOMs), AI Network Interface Cards (AI NICs), and Adaptive SoC products. From time to time, the Company may also sell or license portions of its intellectual property (IP) portfolio.

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year. The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 ended on December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. Fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 each consisted of 52 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Reclassification and Change in Presentation. Certain amounts from fiscal years 2024 and 2023 were reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These include the balance sheet presentation of Receivables from related parties within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, Operating lease right-of-use assets and Investment: equity method within Other non-current assets, and Payables to related parties within Accounts payable.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, revenue allowances, inventory valuation, valuation of goodwill and long-lived and intangible assets, business combination accounting, and income taxes.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Sales, value-added, and other taxes collected concurrently with the provision of goods or services are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with product sales are included in cost of sales. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales.

Customers are generally required to pay for products and services within the Company’s standard contractual terms, which are typically net 30 to 60 days. The Company has determined that it does not have significant financing components in its contracts with customers.

Non-custom products

The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue when non-custom products are shipped to customers, which includes original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and distributors, in accordance with the shipping terms of the sale. Certain OEMs may be entitled to rights of return and rebates under OEM agreements. The Company also sells to distributors under terms allowing the majority of distributors certain rights of return and price protection on unsold merchandise held by them. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration under OEM and distributor arrangements and, accordingly, records a provision for product returns, allowances for price protection and rebates based on actual historical experience and any known events.

Table of Contents

The Company offers incentive programs to certain customers, including cooperative advertising, marketing promotions, volume-based incentives and special pricing arrangements. Where funds provided for such programs can be estimated, the Company recognizes a reduction to revenue at the time the related revenue is recognized; otherwise, the Company recognizes such reduction to revenue at the later of when: i) the related revenue transaction occurs; or ii) the program is offered. For transactions where the Company reimburses a customer for a portion of the customer’s cost to perform specific product advertising or marketing and promotional activities, such amounts are recognized as a reduction to revenue unless they qualify for expense recognition.

Constraints of variable consideration have not been material.

Custom products

Custom products, which are primarily associated with the Company’s Client and Gaming segment, are sold under non-cancellable purchases orders, for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment, and which have no alternative use to the Company at contract inception, are recognized as revenue, over the time of production of the products by the Company. The Company utilizes a cost-based input method, calculated as cost incurred plus estimated margin, to determine the amount of revenue to recognize for in-process or completed customer orders at a reporting date. The Company believes that a cost-based input method is the most appropriate manner to measure how the Company satisfies its performance obligations to customers because the effort and costs incurred best depict the Company’s satisfaction of its performance obligation.

Sales of custom products are not subject to a right of return and arrangements generally involve a single performance obligation. Generally, there are no variable consideration estimates associated with custom products.

Development and intellectual property licensing agreements

From time to time, the Company may enter into arrangements with customers that combine the provision of development services and a license to the right to use the Company’s IP. These arrangements are deemed to be single or multiple performance obligations based upon the nature of the arrangements. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control, over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the arrangements. The Company evaluates whether the licensing component is distinct. A licensing component is distinct if it is both (i) capable of being distinct and (ii) distinct in the context of the arrangement. If the license is not distinct, it is combined with the development services as a single performance obligation and recognized over time. If the license is distinct, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer has the ability to benefit from the license.

From time to time, the Company may enter into arrangements with customers that solely involve the sale or licensing of its patents or IP. Generally, there are no performance obligations beyond transferring the designated license to the Company’s patents or IP. Accordingly, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer has the ability to benefit from the license.

There are no variable consideration estimates associated with either combined development and IP arrangements or for standalone arrangements involving either the sale or licensing of IP.

Inventories

The Company values inventory at standard cost, adjusted to approximate the lower of actual cost or estimated net realizable value using assumptions about future demand and market conditions. In determining excess or obsolescence reserves for its products, the Company considers assumptions such as changes in business and economic conditions, other-than-temporary decreases in demand for its products, and changes in technology or customer requirements. In determining the lower of cost or net realizable value reserves, the Company considers assumptions such as recent historical sales activity and selling prices, as well as estimates of future selling prices. The Company fully reserves for inventories and non-cancellable purchase orders for inventory deemed obsolete. The Company performs periodic reviews of inventory items to identify excess inventories on hand by comparing on-hand balances and non-cancellable purchase orders to anticipated usage using recent historical activity as well as anticipated or forecasted demand. If estimates of customer demand diminish further or market conditions become less favorable than those projected by the Company, additional inventory carrying value adjustments may be required.

Table of Contents

Business Combinations

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations which allocates the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquiree based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates and inputs used in valuing acquired assets and liabilities held for sale, developed technology, and other identifiable intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future revenue, future changes in technology, useful lives, risk-adjusted discount rates, and time and costs to recreate certain assets. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. These estimates are inherently uncertain and, therefore, actual results may differ from the estimates made.

Goodwill

The Company performs its goodwill impairment analysis as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on a more frequent basis. The analysis may include both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess the likelihood of an impairment.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived and intangible assets for impairment if indicators of potential impairment are identified, at least quarterly. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of financial instruments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are primarily comprised of trade receivables presented net of rebates, price protection and an allowance for credit loss. The Company manages its exposure to customer credit risk through credit limits, credit lines, ongoing monitoring procedures and credit approvals. While the Company maintains an allowance for customer credit losses, its accounts receivable write-offs have historically not been significant.

Unbilled Receivables

Unbilled receivables are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unbilled receivables primarily represent work completed on development services and on custom products under non-cancellable purchase orders that have no alternative use to the Company at contract inception, recognized as revenue but not yet invoiced to customers.

Investments

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. Investments in marketable debt securities are available for use in current operations, including those with maturity dates beyond one year, and are classified within current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income until realized. Fair value is determined based on quoted market rates when observable or utilizing data points that are observable. Securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of the excess, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. The Company uses the first-in, first-out method as basis of the cost of securities sold.

Table of Contents

Long-term Investments. Long-term investments are held in both marketable and non-marketable equity securities and other instruments. Marketable equity securities include investments in publicly traded companies. Non-marketable equity securities include investments in privately held companies held for long-term strategic purposes and are accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes and are periodically assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. These investments are recorded within Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses are recorded in Other income, expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, except for non-marketable equity investments in privately-held companies, which are generally accounted for under the measurement alternative.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. The guidance for fair value measurements requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 2 to 7 years for equipment, up to 44 years for buildings, and leasehold improvements are measured by the shorter of the remaining terms of the leases or the estimated useful economic lives of the improvements.

Leases

The Company records operating and finance leases as right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the implicit interest rate if readily determinable. When the implicit interest rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on its collateralized borrowing capabilities over a similar term of the lease payments. When using the incremental borrowing rate, the Company utilizes the consolidated group incremental borrowing rate. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected the accounting policy to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. Operating leases are included in other non-current assets, other current liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s finance leases are immaterial.

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollars have been remeasured into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities and historical exchange rates for non-monetary assets and liabilities. Non-U.S. dollar denominated transactions have been remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during each period, except for those cost of sales and expense transactions related to non-monetary balance sheet amounts which have been remeasured at historical exchange rates. The gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement are included in earnings.

Marketing and Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company’s marketing and advertising expenses include certain cooperative advertising funding obligations under customer incentive programs, which costs are recorded as incurred. Cooperative advertising expenses are recorded as marketing, general and administrative expenses to the extent the cash paid does not exceed the estimated fair value of the advertising benefit received. Any excess of cash paid over the estimated fair value of the advertising benefit received is recorded as a reduction of revenue. Marketing and advertising expenses for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $2.4 billion, $1.2 billion and $695 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company estimates stock-based compensation cost for stock options at the grant date based on the option’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes model. For time-based restricted stock units (RSUs), fair value is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company estimates the grant-date fair value of RSUs that involve a market condition using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company estimates the grant-date fair value of stock to be issued under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase plan (ESPP) using the Black-Scholes model. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award using the straight-line method, except for the compensation expense related to RSUs with performance or market conditions (PRSUs), which are recognized ratably for each vesting tranche from the service inception date to the end of the requisite service period. Forfeiture rates are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Contingencies

From time to time the Company may be a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company is also subject to income tax, indirect tax or other tax claims by tax agencies in jurisdictions in which it conducts business. In addition, the Company is a party to environmental matters including local, regional, state and federal government clean-up activities at or near locations where the Company currently or has in the past conducted business. The Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of reasonably possible losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required for these commitments and contingencies that would be charged to earnings, if any, includes assessing the probability of adverse outcomes and estimating the amount of potential losses. The required reserves, if any, may change due to new developments in each matter or changes in circumstances such as a change in settlement strategy.

Income Taxes

The Company computes the provision for income taxes using the liability method and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using tax rates applicable to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled and provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will be realized. The assessment requires significant judgment and is performed in each of the applicable taxing jurisdictions. In addition, the Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that they will be sustained, based on the technical merits of the positions, on examination by the jurisdictional tax authority. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded within the Income tax provision (benefit) line in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company is subject to the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) tax in the U.S. and recognizes deferred taxes for temporary basis differences that are expected to reverse as GILTI tax in future years.

Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive shares outstanding which is determined using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS in periods in which their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard Updates Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) Income Taxes - Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09) that requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 in the fourth quarter of 2025, with prospective application. See Note 17 - Income Taxes for further information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard Updates Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Disaggregation - Income Statement Expenses (DISE) that expanded the annual and interim disclosure of certain costs and expense categories into specified categories in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning with the fiscal year 2027 and interim periods thereafter, and could be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements had or will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Revenue

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied include amounts received from customers and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods for product revenue, development services, and IP licensing. As of December 27, 2025, the aggregate transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations under contracts with an original expected duration of more than one year was $315 million, of which $201 million is expected to be recognized in the next 12 months. The revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations does not include amounts which have an original expected duration of one year or less.

Revenue recognized over time associated with custom products and development services accounted for approximately 9%, 8% and 25% of the Company’s revenue in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cost of Sales

During the year ended December 27, 2025, the Company recorded approximately $440 million of net inventory and related charges associated with the U.S. government export control on AMD Instinct™ MI308 Data Center GPU products in Cost of sales. The Company did not have any export control related charges in 2024 and 2023.

NOTE 4 – Segment Reporting

Management, including the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, reviews and assesses operating performance using segment net revenue, consolidated cost of sales and operating expenses and operating income (loss). These performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the reportable segments based on management’s judgment. The CODM is regularly provided segment operating income to assess relative segment performance. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company changed its segment structure, combining the Client and Gaming segments into one reportable segment to align with how the Company manages its business. All prior period segment data were retrospectively adjusted.

The Company’s three reportable segments are:

•the Data Center segment, which primarily includes Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerators, microprocessors (CPUs) for servers, graphics processing units (GPUs), accelerated processing units (APUs), data processing units (DPUs), AI Network Interface Cards (AI NICs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and adaptive System-on-Chip (SoC) products for data centers;

•the Client and Gaming segment, which primarily includes CPUs, APUs, chipsets for desktops and notebooks, discrete GPUs, and semi-custom SoC products and development services; and

•the Embedded segment, which primarily includes embedded CPUs, APUs, FPGAs, System on Modules (SOMs), and adaptive SoC products.

From time to time, the Company may also sell or license portions of its IP portfolio.

In addition to these reportable segments, the Company has an All Other category, which is not a reportable segment. This category primarily includes certain expenses and credits that are not allocated to any of the reportable segments because the CODM does not consider these expenses and credits in evaluating the performance of the reportable segments. This category primarily includes amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, employee stock-based compensation, acquisition-related and other costs, restructuring charges, inventory loss at (recovery from) contract manufacturer and licensing gain. Acquisition-related and other costs primarily include transaction costs, certain compensation charges, contract termination costs and workforce rebalancing charges.

The following table provides a summary of net revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses, and operating income (loss) by segment. Segment cost of sales and operating expenses primarily include materials, external manufacturing, labor and marketing and advertising costs, and exclude expenses and credits that are recorded within the All Other category. Each of the Client and Gaming businesses do not qualify as a reportable operating segment, however, the Company continues to separately disclose revenue for each business.

NOTE 5 – Acquisitions and Divestitures

Fiscal Year 2025 Acquisitions

ZT Systems Acquisition and ZT Manufacturing Business Divestiture

On March 31, 2025 (the Acquisition Date), the Company completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of ZT Systems, a provider of AI and general-purpose compute infrastructure for hyperscale computing companies, for a total purchase consideration of $4.4 billion. The acquisition is expected to enable the Company to deliver end-to-end AI solutions and accelerate the design and deployment of AMD-powered AI infrastructure at scale optimized for the cloud.

The purchase consideration was comprised of the following (in millions):

Cash paid on Acquisition Date	$	3,188
Fair value of 8,335,849 shares(1) issued on Acquisition Date	860
Fair value of contingent consideration(2) on Acquisition Date	361
Total purchase consideration	$	4,409

(1) Represented the fair value based on the closing price of AMD common stock on March 28, 2025 of $103.22 per share, as the transaction closed prior to the opening of markets on March 31, 2025.

(2) Represented the estimated fair value of additional consideration of up to 740,961 shares of AMD common stock to be issued and up to $300 million of cash to be paid to former ZT Systems stockholders and warrant holders when the contingencies are fully met.

Table of Contents

The purchase consideration was preliminarily allocated as follows (in millions):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,500
Assets held for sale	5,965
Other assets	81
Total assets acquired	7,546
Liabilities held for sale	3,221
Other liabilities	124
Total liabilities assumed	3,345
Fair value of net assets acquired	4,201
Goodwill	208
Total purchase consideration	$	4,409

The Company preliminarily allocated the purchase price to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of their fair values, which were determined using generally accepted valuation techniques based on estimates and assumptions made by management. The assets and liabilities related to the data center infrastructure manufacturing business (ZT Manufacturing Business), which was divested on October 27, 2025, were classified as held for sale. Fair values of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale were determined using the income and cost valuation approaches, which incorporate significant unobservable inputs. Goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Data Center reporting unit, primarily attributed to the assembled workforce and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company retained select intellectual property and employees associated with the design operations (ZT Design Business).

The purchase consideration allocation, including the fair value allocation between ZT Systems’ Manufacturing and Design Businesses, is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available. The Company may continue to evaluate and further revise the preliminary purchase consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which will not exceed 12 months from the Acquisition Date.

The results of operations of the ZT Design Business are included in the Company’s continuing operations within the Data Center segment and are not material. The results of operations of the ZT Manufacturing Business are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2025, acquisition-related transaction costs of $47 million were recorded within Marketing, general and administrative expenses.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the contingent consideration liability (in millions):

Initial valuation of contingent consideration liability on Acquisition Date	$	361
Change in fair value	121
Settlement in October 2025	(482)
Contingent consideration liability, December 27, 2025	$	—

The contingent consideration liability, which was measured at fair value on Acquisition Date and was remeasured to fair value until the contingencies were resolved, was settled in October 2025 with the former ZT shareholders and warrant holders as the contingencies were fully met. The change in fair value was recorded within Income from discontinued operations of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On October 27, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the ZT Manufacturing Business to Sanmina Corporation (Sanmina) for $2.4 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments and 1,151,052 shares of Sanmina common stock. Upon close of the sale, the Company received cash of $1.4 billion, net of cash divested and purchase price adjustments, and shares of Sanmina common stock valued at $154 million. The purchase consideration received from the sale of the ZT Manufacturing Business is subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

Table of Contents

The Company is eligible to receive additional cash consideration of up to $450 million to the extent certain conditions are met following the close of the sale through 2028 (Sanmina Earn-out). The Company applied the loss recovery approach, under which the difference between the fair value of the consideration received, excluding the Sanmina Earn-out, and the carrying amount of the net assets disposed, is recognized as an Earn-out receivable, to the extent it is probable of being received. Upon close of the sale, the Company recorded a Sanmina Earn-out receivable of $332 million within Other non-current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Earn-out receivable will be subject to impairment assessment at the end of each reporting period prior to receipt of payment. The Company also entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement with Sanmina with an initial term of five years.

Other Acquisitions

In 2025, the Company completed other business acquisitions for a total consideration of $90 million that resulted in the recognition of $79 million of goodwill. The financial results of these acquired businesses, which were not material, were included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations from their respective dates of acquisition within the Data Center segment.

Pro Forma Information

Since the ZT Manufacturing Business, which represented the majority of ZT Systems’ operations, was classified as held for sale upon acquisition and subsequently sold in October 2025, pro forma information presenting the combined results of operations of ZT Systems and other acquired entities were deemed neither material nor meaningful to the Company’s consolidated income from continuing operations and were omitted.

Fiscal Year 2024 Acquisitions

Silo AI Acquisition

On August 9, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Silo AI Oy (Silo AI), an AI lab based in Finland, for $665 million in cash. The recorded purchase consideration of $553 million, net of closing adjustments, transaction costs and deferred cash compensation, was allocated to $19 million of identifiable intangible assets, $43 million of net liabilities assumed, and $577 million to goodwill. Goodwill was attributed to Silo AI’s workforce to accelerate the deployment and development of AI solutions on AMD hardware. Silo AI financial results, which were not material, were included in the Company's Statement of Operations since the date of acquisition, primarily within the Data Center segment.

Fiscal Year 2023 Acquisitions

During the year ended December 30, 2023, the Company completed business acquisitions for a total consideration of $134 million, recognizing $49 million of identifiable net assets and $85 million of goodwill. The financial results of these acquired businesses, which were not material, were included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations from their respective dates of acquisition under the Data Center, Client and Gaming, and Embedded segments.

NOTE 6 – Goodwill and Acquisition-related Intangibles, net

NOTE 10 – Leases

Operating Leases

The Company has entered into operating and finance leases for its corporate offices, data centers, research and development facilities and certain equipment. The leases expire at various dates through 2038, some of which include options to extend the lease for up to ten years.

For 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $196 million, $147 million and $127 million, respectively, of operating lease expense, including short-term lease expense. For 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded $100 million, $83 million, and $46 million respectively, of variable lease expense, which primarily included operating expenses and property taxes associated with the usage of facilities under the operating leases. For 2025, 2024, and 2023 cash paid for operating leases included in operating cash flows was $176 million, $155 million, and $147 million respectively. Certain operating leases contain provisions for escalating lease payments subject to changes in the consumer price index. The Company’s finance and short-term leases are immaterial to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Supplemental information as of and for the year December 27, 2025 related to leases is as follows:

	December 27,<br>2025		December 28,<br>2024
Weighted-average remaining lease term in years – operating leases	6.95		7.28
Weighted-average discount rate – operating leases	4.74	%	4.63	%

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating lease liabilities as of December 27, 2025 are as follows:

Fiscal Year	2026		2027		2028		2029		2031		2031 and thereafter		Total

Total long-term operating lease liabilities													$	625

As of December 27, 2025, the Company has data center and other real estate leases that have not yet commenced with future lease payments of $1.3 billion. These leases are expected to commence in 2026 with lease terms of 1 year to 10 years.

NOTE 11 – Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of investments in time deposits, available-for-sale debt securities, equity investments and trade receivables.

Table of Contents

The Company places its investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At the time an investment is made, investments in commercial paper of industrial firms and financial institutions are rated A1, P1, F1 or better. The Company invests in bonds that are rated A, A2 or better and repurchase agreements, each of which have securities of the type and quality listed above as collateral.

The Company believes that concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus diluting the trade credit risk. One customer accounted for approximately 11% and another customer accounted for 24% of the total consolidated accounts receivable balance as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. However, the Company does not believe the receivable balance from these customers represents a significant credit risk based on past collection experience and review of their current credit quality.

The Company is exposed to credit losses from nonperformance by counterparties on foreign currency hedge contracts. These counterparties are large global institutions, and to date, no such counterparty has failed to meet its financial obligations to the Company.

NOTE 12 – Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company’s commitments primarily include the Company’s obligations to purchase wafers and substrates from third parties, and future payments related to multi-year cloud service provider (CSP), software, and technology license agreements. Some cloud service capacity may be reduced, terminated or sold to others by the CSPs, in which case the Company’s commitments will be reduced. The Company expects to utilize the cloud service capacity in its operations or assign the capacity to third parties. These commitments were made under noncancellable purchase orders and contractual obligations requiring minimum commitments for which cancellation would lead to significant penalties.

Total future unconditional commitments as of December 27, 2025 are as follows:

Fiscal Year	2026		2027		2028		2029		2030		2031 and thereafter		Total
	(In millions)
Unconditional commitments	$	8,498	$	1,099	$	1,216	$	1,197	$	156	$	—	$	12,166

The Company continually works with suppliers and partners on the timing of payments and deliveries of purchase commitments, taking into account business conditions.

Warranties and Indemnities

The Company generally warrants that its products sold to its customers will conform to its approved specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and conditions for one year. The Company may also offer, in general, one to three-year limited warranties based on product type and negotiated warranty terms with certain customers. The Company accrues warranty costs to Cost of sales at the time of sale of warranted products.

Changes in the Company’s estimated liability for product warranty during 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

	December 27,<br>2025		December 28,<br>2024
	(In millions)
Beginning balance	$	188	$	85
Provisions during the period	358		213
Settlements during the period	(238)		(110)
Ending balance	$	308	$	188

Table of Contents

In addition to product warranties, the Company from time to time in its normal course of business indemnifies other parties with whom it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. In these limited matters, the Company has agreed to hold certain third parties harmless against specific types of claims or losses such as those arising from a breach of representations or covenants, third-party claims that the Company’s products when used for their intended purpose(s) and under specific conditions infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party, or other specified claims made against the indemnified party. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, payments made by the Company under these obligations have not been material. In addition, the impact from changes in estimates for pre-existing warranties has been immaterial.

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

As of December 27, 2025, there were no material legal proceedings.

The Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various actions that arose in the normal course of business. With respect to these matters, based on management’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss, if any, will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 13 – Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the components of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Potential shares from employee equity plans totaling 9 million, 1 million and 6 million weighted-average shares for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were not included in the earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock Repurchase Program

On May 13, 2025, the Company’s board of directors approved a new $6 billion share repurchase program. The authorization is in addition to the Company’s existing share repurchase program (collectively, the Repurchase Program), increasing the total repurchase authority to $14 billion. During 2025, the Company repurchased 12 million shares of its common stock under the Repurchase Program for $1.3 billion. The repurchased amounts do not include the 1% excise tax on stock repurchases enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. As of December 27, 2025, $9.4 billion remained available for future stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any common stock, has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Warrant

In October 2025, the Company issued to OpenAI OpCo, LLC (the Warrantholder) a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 160 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrant shares will vest in tranches based on AMD Instinct GPU purchase milestones by the Warrantholder, or its affiliates, or indirectly through third parties, and achievement of specified Company stock price targets and stock performance. Each vested tranche is further subject to the fulfillment of certain other technical and commercial conditions prior to exercise. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the warrant is exercisable through October 5, 2030. None of the warrant shares had met the vesting or exercise conditions as of December 27, 2025 and the issuance of the warrant had no impact to the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 27, 2025. The Company will account for the warrant shares as a liability until certain conditions for equity classification are satisfied.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s employee equity programs are intended to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified employees. On May 18, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved the AMD 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2023 Plan). Under the 2023 Plan, 87,645,874 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved and available for delivery pursuant to awards granted under the 2023 Plan. Generally, stock options granted under the 2023 Plan vest and become exercisable over a four-year period from the date of grant and expire within seven years after the grant date. Unvested shares from the 2023 Plan that are reacquired by the Company from forfeited outstanding equity awards become available for grant and may be reissued as new awards. Under the 2023 Plan, the Company can grant (i) stock options, and (ii) RSUs, including time-based RSUs and PRSUs.

Stock Options. Nonstatutory and incentive stock options may be granted to certain of the Company’s senior executives. The exercise price of the shares subject to each nonstatutory stock option and incentive stock option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of each option granted under the 2023 Plan must be paid in full at the time of the exercise.

Table of Contents

Time-based RSUs. Time-based RSUs are awards that can be granted to any employee, director or consultant and that obligate the Company to issue a specific number of shares of the Company’s common stock in the future if the vesting terms and conditions are satisfied.

PRSUs. PRSUs can be granted to certain of the Company’s senior executives. The performance metrics can be financial performance, non-financial performance and/or market conditions. Each PRSU award reflects a target number of shares (Target Shares) that may be issued to an award recipient before adjusting based on the Company’s financial performance, non-financial performance and/or market conditions. The actual number of shares that a grant recipient receives at the end of the period may range from 0% to 250% of the Target Shares granted, depending upon the degree of achievement of the performance target designated by each individual award.

ESPP. Under the 2017 Plan, eligible employees who participate in an offering period may have up to 15% of their eligible earnings withheld, up to certain limitations, to purchase shares of common stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value on the first or the last business day of the six-month offering period. The offering periods commence in May and November each year.

As of December 27, 2025, the Company had 47 million shares of common stock that were available for future grants and 36 million shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or the vesting of unvested RSUs, including PRSUs.

Valuation and Expense

Stock-based compensation expense was allocated in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

Total stock-based compensation expense, net of income taxes	$	1,345	$	1,156	$	1,135

Stock Options. The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $89.01, $68.38 and $53.72 per share, respectively, using the following assumptions:

	December 27, 2025		December 28, 2024		December 30, 2023
Expected volatility	52.25	%	54.34	%	52.36% - 52.42%

Expected dividends	—	%	—	%	—	%
Expected life (in years)	4.97		4.98		4.96 - 5.04

The Company uses a combination of the historical volatility of its common stock and the implied volatility for publicly traded options on the Company’s common stock as the expected volatility assumption. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate for a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve with a term that approximates the expected life of the option grant at the date closest to the option grant date. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future. The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding.

Expected volatility	56.47% - 56.79%		48.14% - 49.38%		45.74% - 49.40%
Risk-free interest rate	3.79% - 4.28%		4.42% - 5.41%		5.13% - 5.46%
Expected dividends	—	%	—	%	—	%
Expected term (in years)	0.50		0.50		0.50

The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock and the risk-free interest rate based on the rate for a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve with a term that approximates the expected life of the ESPP grant at the date closest to the ESPP grant date. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the near future. The expected term of the ESPP represents the six-month offering period.

During 2025, 3 million shares of common stock were purchased under the ESPP at an average purchase price of $89.22 resulting in aggregate cash proceeds of $263 million. As of December 27, 2025, the Company had $52 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the ESPP, which will be recognized over the weighted-average period of 0.37 years.

NOTE 15 – Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company provides retirement benefit plans in the United States and certain foreign countries. The Company has a 401(k) retirement plan that allows participating employees in the United States to contribute as defined by the plan and subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Company matches 75% of employees’ contributions up to 6% of their eligible compensation. The Company’s contributions to the 401(k) plan for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $84 million, $78 million and $70 million, respectively.

NOTE 16 – Restructuring Charges

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (the 2024 Restructuring Plan) which reduced the global workforce by approximately 4% of headcount. Actions associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan were substantially completed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The 2024 Restructuring Plan charges to date were $186 million, of which $113 million was related to employee severance and benefits and $73 million was related to asset impairment. For 2025 and 2024, the Company made $79 million and $24 million of severance payments, respectively. In 2025, there were no charges or adjustments to period expenses under the 2024 Restructuring Plan. As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, restructuring plan liabilities of $10 million and $89 million, respectively, were recorded within Accrued liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $103 million and an income tax provision of $381 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing effective tax rates of (2.5%) and 19%, respectively. The decrease in income tax provision in 2025 was primarily driven by an $853 million benefit related to the release of uncertain tax positions pertaining to the reasonable cause relief for dual consolidated losses approved by the IRS in April 2025 whereas the income tax provision in 2024 included $373 million tax effect from an intercompany integration transaction.

In July 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law. For fiscal year 2025, the primary impact of the OBBBA to the Company’s tax provision was the accelerated expensing of domestic R&D activities which decreased the Company’s income eligible for FDII, reduced the Company’s deferred tax assets, and reduced the Company’s current income tax liability. To the extent OBBBA changes impacted the Company’s effective tax rate reconciliation, the impacts are presented in the respective line items in the effective tax rate reconciliation table above. The OBBBA also resulted in a remeasurement of GILTI deferred tax balances as presented on the line “Effect of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period” in the effective tax rate reconciliation table above. Other OBBBA changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

As part of the Xilinx acquisition and as a result of certain employment and operational commitments the Company has made in Singapore, the Company has been granted a Development and Expansion Incentive (DEI) that is effective through 2031. The DEI reduces the local tax on Singapore income from a statutory rate of 17% to 5% through 2031. The tax expense reflected in the Company’s effective tax rate reconciliation is primarily due to the difference in tax rates applied to the current year pre-tax loss. Due to the current year pre-tax loss in Singapore, the Company did not receive any income tax or earnings per share benefit.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of tax carryovers and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the balances for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:

	December 27,<br>2025		December 28,<br>2024

The reduction in the Company’s Net operating loss carryovers and the valuation allowance items followed the receipt of the reasonable cause relief for dual consolidated losses approved by the IRS in April 2025. Other reductions in the Company’s net deferred tax assets during 2025 were primarily driven by the impact of OBBBA.

The movement in the deferred tax valuation allowance was as follows:

	December 27, 2025		December 28, 2024		December 30, 2023
	(In millions)
Balance at beginning of year	$	2,136	$	2,124	$	2,078

Acquisition-related	—		3		5
Balance at end of year	$	1,338	$	2,136	$	2,124

Through the end of fiscal year 2025, the Company continued to maintain a valuation allowance of approximately $1.3 billion for certain state, and foreign tax attributes due to lack of sufficient sources of future taxable income.

The Company’s U.S. federal and state net operating losses (NOLs) carryforwards as of December 27, 2025, were $94 million and $367 million, respectively. $20 million of U.S. federal NOLs will expire between 2027 and 2036, and $74 million of federal NOLs have no expiration date. State NOLs will expire at various dates through 2045. The federal tax credits of $6 million will expire at various dates between 2040 and 2042. The state tax return credits of $848 million will expire at various dates between 2026 and 2040, except for the California R&D credit, which does not expire. The Company also has $678 million of credit carryforward in Canada that will expire between 2028 and 2045.

A reconciliation of the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:

	December 27, 2025		December 28, 2024		December 30, 2023
	(In millions)
Balance at beginning of year	$	1,498	$	1,463	$	1,361

Decreases for lapses in statutes of limitation	(63)		(28)		—
Balance at end of year	$	806	$	1,498	$	1,463

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized was $571 million, $1.3 billion and $1.3 billion as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. The Company had $190 million, $298 million and $142 million of accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company had long-term income tax liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits, which include interest and penalties, of $806 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, recorded under Other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The reduction in long-term income tax liabilities was primarily due to the release of $853 million of uncertain tax positions (including interest and penalties) following receipt of reasonable cause relief for dual consolidated losses approved by the IRS in April 2025.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax. The material jurisdiction in which the Company is subject to potential examination by the taxing authority is the United States, where tax years from 2007 are open for audit. Pre-acquisition Xilinx U.S. tax returns for fiscal years 2018 and 2019 are currently under audit by the IRS.

Under current U.S. tax law, the impact of future distributions of earnings from foreign subsidiaries are anticipated to be subject to withholding taxes from local jurisdictions and non-conforming U.S. state jurisdictions. The deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not material.

Subsequent to December 27, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to guarantee a commercial partner's data center lease obligations in the event of their default. The maximum gross exposure is $4.1 billion, which will be reduced as the commercial partner makes payments to the lessor over 15 years, or if the commercial partner enters into an agreement to sell the data center capacity to a third party. The fair value of the guarantee liability is not expected to be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the Company) as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 3, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Inventory Valuation

Description of the Matter

At December 27, 2025, the Company’s net inventory balance was $7,920 million. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adjusts the inventory carrying value to the lower of actual cost or the estimated net realizable value after completing ongoing reviews of on-hand inventory quantities exceeding forecasted demand, and by considering recent historical activity as well as anticipated demand. Auditing management’s inventory excess and obsolescence reserves involved significant judgment because the estimates are based on several factors that are affected by market, industry, and competitive conditions outside the Company's control. In estimating excess and obsolescence reserves, management developed certain assumptions, including forecasted demand which are sensitive to the competitiveness of product offerings, customer requirements, and product life cycles. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company's inventory excess and obsolescence reserves estimation process, including the basis for developing the above-described assumptions and management’s judgments. Our audit procedures included, among others, testing the reasonableness of management’s key assumptions and judgments and testing the accuracy and completeness of the underlying data used to determine the amount of excess and obsolescence reserves. We compared the quantities and carrying value of on-hand inventories to related unit sales, both historical and forecasted, and evaluated the appropriateness and adequacy of management’s adjustments to such sales forecasts by analyzing potential technological changes in line with product life cycles. We also assessed the accuracy of forecasts underlying management's estimates by comparing management’s historical forecasts to actual results, evaluated industry and market factors and performed sensitivity analyses over the forecasted demand used by management to determine inventory excess and obsolescence reserves.

(the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025, and the related notes and our report dated February 3, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of December 27, 2025, the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that conclusions of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concerning the effectiveness of the disclosure controls can be reported in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. The overall goals of these evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and to modify them, as necessary. We intend to maintain the disclosure controls as dynamic systems that we adjust as circumstances merit. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

1.Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

2.Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

3.Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.

Table of Contents

Management has used the 2013 framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 27, 2025 at the reasonable assurance level. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, which is included in Part II, Item 8, above.

Exhibit 4.1

DESCRIPTION OF ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. CAPITAL STOCK

The following description of AMD’s capital stock is a summary. This summary is subject to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the complete text of AMD’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “certificate of incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws (the “bylaws”), filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We encourage you to read that law and those documents carefully.

Common Stock

General

The certificate of incorporation authorizes 4,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share.

Voting Rights

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Common stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, in an uncontested election, holders of a majority of the voting shares are able to elect all of the directors.

Dividends

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding serial preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds. However, the terms of our borrowing arrangements restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock in certain circumstances. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of common stock. Declaration and payment of any dividend are subject to the discretion of the board of directors. Before payment of any dividend, the board of directors may set aside out of any funds of AMD available for dividends such amount thought proper to meet contingencies, equalize dividends, repair or maintain any property of AMD, or for such other purpose as the board of directors determines to be conducive to the interest of AMD. The board of directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Liquidation

In the event of AMD’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then outstanding shares of serial preferred stock.

Rights and Preferences

Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of serial preferred stock that we may designate in the future.

Fully Paid and Nonassessable

All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Annual Stockholder Meetings

The certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, place (if any) and time, as designated by the board of directors. To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may but are not obligated to conduct meetings by remote communications, including by webcast.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions

Some provisions of Delaware law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make the following transactions difficult: acquisition by means of a tender offer; acquisition by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in the best interests of AMD, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for shares of common stock.

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control to first negotiate with AMD’s board of directors. We believe that the benefits of protection to AMD’s potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure AMD outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits persons deemed “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly-held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock and a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, such as discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of our common stock.

Undesignated Serial Preferred Stock

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to designate and issue up to 1,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of serial preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until our board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of serial preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock and delaying or preventing a change in control of our common stock without further action by our stockholders and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Special Stockholder Meetings

The bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the chair of the board of directors or secretary of AMD at the request in writing of a majority of the board of directors. Stockholders holding no less than 20% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock continuously for at least one year prior to requesting a special meeting have the right to call a special meeting upon written request, provided such stockholders satisfy all requirements as set forth in the bylaws.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

The bylaws sets forth advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.

Proxy Access

Our bylaws permit a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning at least three percent of our outstanding stock continuously for at least three years, to nominate and include in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders, director candidates constituting up to 20% of our board of directors elected by holders of our common stock, provided that the stockholder (or group) and each nominee satisfy the requirements as set forth in the bylaws.

Composition of the Board of Directors; Election and Removal of Directors; Filling Vacancies

The board of directors may consist of not fewer than three nor more than 12 directors. In any uncontested elections of directors, a director nominee for the board of directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director by the shares represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, voting together as a single class. An incumbent director who is nominated for an uncontested election and fails to receive a majority of the votes present and voting for such director’s reelection would be required to tender his or her resignation to the board of directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors (or any future committee the equivalent thereof) will make a recommendation to the board of directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The board of directors will act on the recommendation of such committee within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results and will publicly disclose its decision. In a contested election, a plurality voting standard will apply to director elections. The directors are elected until the expiration of the term for which they are elected and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

The directors may be removed only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the holders of our then-outstanding common stock. Furthermore, any vacancy on the board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of the board, may be filled only by a majority vote of the board of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. This system of electing and removing directors and filling vacancies may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of AMD, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.

Choice of Forum

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, other employees or stockholders to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Subject to the foregoing, the bylaws further provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

The amendment of any of the provisions in the certificate of incorporation requires approval by a stockholder vote by the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock. The bylaws may be amended by the board of directors or by the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock.

The provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the management of AMD. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters

The certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of the directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, directors are not personally liable to AMD or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for:

•any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to AMD or its stockholders;

•any act or omission not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or

•any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Each of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws provides that we are required to indemnify the directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The bylaws also obligate us to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under Delaware law. We have entered into agreements to indemnify the directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the board of directors. With specified exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. AMD also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against the directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit AMD and its stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage.

Exhibit 10.75

ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL PLAN AND SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION FOR EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS

Amended and Restated Effective August 19, 2025

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Executive Severance and Change of Control Plan for Executive and Senior Vice Presidents (the “Plan”) is to provide assurances of specified severance and change of control benefits to eligible executives of the Company whose employment is terminated by the Company or a successor under certain circumstances. The Plan is intended to be a “top hat” plan that is exempt from the participation, vesting, funding, and fiduciary requirements of Title I of ERISA (as defined below). The Plan shall supersede any individual agreement between the Company and an Executive (as defined below) and any other plan, policy or practice, whether written or unwritten, maintained by the any member of the AMD Group with respect to an Executive, in each case to the extent that such agreement, plan, policy or practice provides for severance benefits upon the Executive’s separation from the AMD Group.

2. ELIGIBILITY

An “Executive” is a person who is eligible to participate in the Plan if such person meets all of the following criteria:

such person is employed by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company” or “AMD”) or a subsidiary of AMD (AMD and its subsidiaries, collectively, the “AMD Group”);

such person is employed at the Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President job level; and

such person is not covered by an individual agreement that provides severance benefits.

The business decisions that may result in an Executive becoming eligible to participate in the Plan are made by AMD. However, whether an Executive is eligible to receive benefits under the Plan is decided by the Plan Administrator (as defined below) in its sole discretion. An Executive who commences participation in the Plan is called a “Participant.” An Executive’s participation ends when the Executive is no longer eligible to receive any Plan benefits.

An Executive is eligible for the benefits under Section 6 or Section 7 of the Plan only if such Executive experiences an Involuntary Termination (as defined below).

3. DEFINITIONS

For purposes of the Plan, the terms below are defined as follows:

a. “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

b. “Change of Control” shall mean any of the following events:

i. any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired directly from the Company or any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity in which the Company holds an equity, profit or voting interest of thirty percent (30%) or more) representing more than 50% of either the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

ii. during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement or arrangement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) of this definition) whose appointment, election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board;

iii. there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or subsidiary thereof with or into any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto holding securities which represent immediately after such merger or consolidation more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of either the Company or the other entity which survives such merger or consolidation or the parent of the entity which survives such merger or consolidation; or

iv. the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or there is consummated the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by persons in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) no “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if there is consummated any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the record holders of the Common Stock of the Company or the voting power of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions and (2) “Change of Control” shall exclude the acquisition of securities representing more than 20% of either the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding

securities of the Company under an employee benefit plan now or hereafter established by the Company.

c. “Change of Control Period” means the period commencing on the date of a Change of Control and ending on the second anniversary of such date.

d. “Constructive Termination” shall mean a resignation by the Executive following the occurrence (without an Executive’s prior written consent) of any of the following: (i) a material diminution of an Executive’s compensation, authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) the Company’s relocation of an Executive’s principal place of employment to a facility that is more than fifty (50) miles from an Executive’s current principal place of employment; and (iii) a material increase in an Executive’s amount of required business travel on behalf of the Company; provided, however, that the Executive may not resign from the Executive’s employment for Constructive Termination unless (A) the Executive has provided the Company with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the Executive’s intent to resign for Constructive Termination (which notice must be provided within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of the event(s) purported to constitute Constructive Termination, indicate the specific event(s) relied upon for a Constructive Termination, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances of such event(s), and specify a resignation date no more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice) and (B) the Company has not remedied the alleged violation(s) within the 30-day period.

e. “Disability” shall mean a disability for which the Executive is receiving salary continuation payments under a short-term disability policy or a long-term disability plan of any member of the AMD Group.

f. “For Cause,” as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, is defined as (i) a violation of an Executive’s obligations regarding confidentiality, or the protection of sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information and trade secrets; (ii) an act or omission by the Executive resulting in an Executive’s being charged with a criminal offense involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or breach of trust; (iii) conduct by the Executive which constitutes a felony (or state law equivalent), or an Executive’s plea of guilty or nolo contendere with respect to a felony (or state law equivalent) under applicable law; (iv) conduct by the Executive that constitutes gross neglect; (v) an Executive’s insubordination or refusal to implement lawful directives of an Executive’s manager; (vi) an Executive’s chronic absenteeism other than an approved leave of absence per AMD’s policies; an Executive’s failure to cooperate with any internal investigation of any member of the AMD Group; (vii) the Plan Administrator’s determination that the Executive violated AMD’s Worldwide Standards of Business Conduct or committed other acts of misconduct, or an Executive’s violation of state or federal law relating to the workplace (including laws related to sexual harassment or age, sex or other prohibited discrimination); (viii) an Executive’s material breach of the AMD Agreement, any AMD Group policy, or any written agreement between the Executive and any member of the AMD Group; (ix) an Executive’s failure to substantially perform an Executive’s job duties with the AMD Group; or (x) an Executive’s poor performance of an Executive’s job duties as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator.

g. “Involuntary Termination” means (i) a termination of the Executive’s employment by the AMD Group at any time other than (a) For Cause, (b) as a result of a Disability or death,

or (c) through automatic termination due to an extended leave of absence and (ii) solely during the Change of Control Period, the Executive’s resignation for Constructive Termination.

4. BENEFITS

To receive benefits under the Plan, the Executive must:

a. experience an Involuntary Termination;

b. not be terminated by the AMD Group For Cause, as a result of Disability or death, or through automatic termination due to an extended leave of absence;

c. not voluntarily terminate his or her employment, resign or retire with or from the AMD Group for any reason (and for purposes of clarity a Constructive Termination during the Change of Control Period is not a voluntary termination);

d. not have been offered a job with a company or organization that purchases (or has purchased) some or all of the operation in which an Executive is employed, or is a direct or indirect successor in ownership or management of the operation in which an Executive is employed, unless such job would constitute a Constructive Termination during the Change of Control Period;

e. not have been offered employment with a company or organization that is affiliated (directly or indirectly) with the Company, unless such employment would constitute a Constructive Termination during the Change of Control Period;

f. not receive severance pay or benefits under an individual agreement with a member of the AMD Group;

g. timely execute, deliver to the Company and not revoke a separation agreement and full release of claims (the “Release”) in the form provided to the Executive by the Company in accordance with its terms (the “Release Condition”);

h. continue as a satisfactory employee until released by the applicable member of the AMD Group in accordance with its needs; and

i. abide by such other written terms and conditions as the Company may establish as a condition to participation in, or payment of benefits under, the Plan.

5. FORM AND TIMING OF BENEFIT

The cash severance benefits payable hereunder shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment as soon as administratively practicable following an Executive’s date of termination or earlier, if required to comply with federal or state law.

As set forth in Section 17 herein, all payments and benefits under the Plan shall be subject to, and made net of, applicable deductions and withholdings. Any payments and benefits under the Plan shall be reduced by any severance benefit payable to the Executive under any other AMD plan, program or

agreement or any other legally imposed terms and conditions of employment under applicable law, regulation or ordinance.

6. SEVERANCE BENEFITS OUTSIDE A CHANGE OF CONTROL

An Executive will become a Participant and receive the severance benefits set forth in Schedule A (attached) (“Severance Benefits”) upon an Involuntary Termination if the Executive meets the criteria for payment set forth in the Plan, including the Release Condition, unless such termination occurs during the Change of Control Period in which case the Executive will be eligible to receive either the Tier 1 CoC Benefits on Schedule B or the Tier 2 CoC Benefits on Schedule C, as applicable.

In no event will an Executive be eligible to receive the Tier 1 CoC Benefits on Schedule B or the Tier 2 CoC Benefits on Schedule C if such Executive is eligible to receive the Severance Benefits on Schedule A.

7. SEVERANCE BENEFITS IN THE EVENT OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL

a. TIER 1 CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS

If an Executive is an executive officer of AMD within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or holds the AMD job title of Executive Vice President upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, then the Executive will be a Participant and receive the benefits set forth in Schedule B (attached) (“Tier 1 CoC Benefits”) upon an Involuntary Termination during the Change of Control Period, subject to the criteria for payment set forth in the Plan, including the Release Condition.

In no event will an Executive be eligible to receive the Severance Benefits on Schedule A or the Tier 2 CoC Benefits on Schedule C if such Executive is eligible to receive the Tier 1 CoC Benefits on Schedule B.

b. TIER 2 CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS

If an Executive is eligible and holds the AMD job title of Senior Vice President, and is not otherwise notified of the Executive’s eligibility for Tier 1 CoC Benefits, then the Executive will be a Participant and receive the benefits set forth in Schedule C (attached) (“Tier 2 CoC Benefits”) upon an Involuntary Termination during the Change of Control Period, subject to satisfaction of the criteria for payment set forth in the Plan, including the Release Condition.

In no event will an Executive be eligible to receive the Severance Benefits on Schedule A or the Tier 1 CoC Benefits on Schedule B if such Executive is eligible to receive the Tier 2 CoC Benefits on Schedule C.

8. BEST RESULT

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the benefits provided by the Plan, together with all other payments and the value of any benefits received or to be received by the Executive (the “Payments”), constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), and, but for this Section 7, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the

Payments shall be made to the Executive either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount as which would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate any reduction contemplated by the preceding sentence, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by first reducing or eliminating cash payments and then by reducing those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing an Executive’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.

Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, an initial determination as to whether the Payments shall be reduced and the amount of such reduction shall be made, at the Company’s expense, by an accounting firm that the Company selects (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and the Executive within twenty (20) days of the Executive’s date of termination, or such other time as requested by the Company or by the Executive (provided the Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to the Executive, the Executive shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the “Dispute”). If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive.

9. SECTION 409A

The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under the Plan shall be construed as a separate and distinct payment for purposes of Section 409A. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A:

the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under the Plan which are subject to Section 409A until the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A;

amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan or any other arrangement between the Executive and the Company during the six (6) month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s date of death);

amounts reimbursable to the Executive under the Plan shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to the Executive) during one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year; and

if any severance amount payable under a plan or agreement that the Executive may have a right or entitlement to as of the date of the Plan constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A, then the portion of the benefits payable hereunder equal to such other amount shall instead be provided in the form set forth in such other plan or agreement.

The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in the Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment. The Executive understands and agrees that the Executive shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses incurred by the Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

If the Company believes, at any time, that any payment or benefit under the Plan is not exempt from, or does not comply with, Section 409A, the Company shall promptly advise the Executive and shall reasonably and in good faith amend the terms of such arrangement such that it is exempt or complies (with the most limited possible economic effect on the Executive and on the Company) or to minimize any additional tax, interest, and/or penalties that may apply under Section 409A if exemption or compliance is not practicable. The Company agrees that it shall not without a Executive’s prior written consent, knowingly take any action, or knowingly refrain from taking any action, other than as required by law, that would result in the imposition of tax, interest, and/or penalties upon the Participant under Section 409A, unless such action or omission is pursuant to the Participant’s written request.

10. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Although the Company expects to maintain the Plan indefinitely, it reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that the Plan may not be amended, modified or terminated on or within two (2) years immediately following a Change of Control in any manner which is adverse to any Executive without such Executive’s written consent. The Company also delegates the foregoing right to amend the Plan to the Plan Administrator but any such amendments shall be on behalf of the Company and in a settlor, not fiduciary, capacity. Entitlement to severance benefits under the Plan are not guaranteed and may be eliminated in the future in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, except on or within two (2) years immediately following a Change of Control, or where benefits under the Plan have been provided or promised by AMD in a fully-executed and enforceable separation and release agreement made effective at the time of the employee’s termination of employment. Consideration provided by AMD under such separation and release agreement, once fully executed and effective, shall not be subject to modification or termination unilaterally by AMD or the Plan Administrator.

11. NON-ALIENATION OF BENEFITS

No Plan benefit can be anticipated, alienated, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or charged, and any attempt to do so will be void.

12. NON-DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Severance Benefits, Tier 1 CoC Benefits or Tier 2 CoC Benefits provided to a Participant, as applicable, are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other severance and change of control benefits or payments to which such Participant may otherwise be entitled, either at law, tort, or contract, in equity, or under the Plan, in the event of any termination of such Participant’s employment. The Participant will be entitled to no

severance or change of control benefits or payments upon a termination of employment that constitutes an involuntary termination other than those benefits expressly set forth herein and those benefits required to be provided by applicable law or as negotiated in accordance with applicable law (including any severance benefits that may be included in a severance agreement, employment agreement or similar contract between the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and the Participant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is entitled to any benefits other than the benefits under the Plan by operation of applicable law or as negotiated in accordance with applicable law, such Participant’s benefits under the Plan shall be provided only to the extent more favorable than such other arrangement. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to reduce or otherwise adjust a Participant’s benefits under the Plan, in whole or in part, by any other severance benefits, pay and benefits in lieu of notice, or other similar benefits payable to such Participant under the Plan that become payable in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment pursuant to (i) any applicable legal requirement, including the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act), the California Plant Closing Act or any other similar state law, or (ii) any policy or practice of the Company providing for the warn act to remain on payroll for a limited period of time after being given notice of termination. The benefits provided under the Plan are intended to satisfy, in whole or in part, any and all statutory obligations of the Company that may arise out of a Participant’s termination of employment, and the Plan Administrator shall so construe and implement the terms of the Plan.

13. LEGAL CONSTRUCTION

a. CONTROLLING LAW

The Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Texas to the extent not preempted by U.S. federal law, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1976, as amended (“ERISA”), or the law of any other applicable non-United States jurisdiction, which shall otherwise control.

b. ERISA

The Plan is intended to be “a plan which is unfunded and maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensation employees,” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA such that it will be, among other things, exempt from the reporting and disclosure requirements of Part 1 of Title I of ERISA. In the event that the Plan does not meet the requirements of unfunded plan maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensation employees, as described above with respect to any category of Participant, the Plan is intended to constitute a “severance pay arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(2)(B)(i) of ERISA so as to be excepted from the definitions of “employee pension benefit plan” and “pension plan” set forth under section 3(2) of ERISA, and is intended to meet the descriptive requirements of a plan constituting a “severance pay plan” within the meaning of regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations § 2510.3−2(b).

14. ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATION OF THE PLAN

The Company is the “Plan Sponsor” and the “Plan Administrator” of the Plan as such terms are used in ERISA; provided, however, that the Company may designate any person or a committee to act as Plan Administrator. Until the Company determines otherwise, the Company hereby designates AMD’s Benefits Plan Administrative Committee (the “Administrative Committee”) to act as Plan

Administrator on behalf of the Company. A member of the Administrative Committee will not vote or act upon any matter relating solely to himself/herself.

The Plan Administrator of the Plan is the “named fiduciary” for purposes of ERISA, with the authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator has full and absolute discretion to make such rules, regulations, interpretations of the Plan, make such computations as it may deem appropriate under the Plan, construe all provisions of the Plan, to correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency which may appear in the Plan, to determine all questions relating to eligibility and all other matters relating to benefits under the Plan, and to resolve all controversies relating to the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator’s determinations and other actions shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. The Plan Administrator may engage the services of such persons or organizations to render advice or perform services with respect to its responsibilities under the Plan as it shall determine to be necessary or appropriate. Such persons or organizations may include (without limitation) actuaries, attorneys, accountants and consultants.

Any person or group of persons may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan. The responsibilities of the Plan Administrator under the Plan shall be carried out on its behalf by the Company’s directors, officers, employees and agents, acting on behalf or in the name of the Company in their capacity as directors, officers, employees and agents and not as individual fiduciaries. The Company or the Plan Administrator may delegate any of its fiduciary responsibilities under the Plan to another person or persons pursuant to a written instrument that specifies the fiduciary responsibilities so delegated to each such person.

The Plan Administrator has full and absolute discretion in the exercise of its authority under the Plan, including without limitation, the authority to determine any person’s right to benefits under the Plan, the correct amount of any benefits, the authority to decide any appeal, the authority to review and correct the actions of any prior administrative committee, and all of the rights, powers, and authorities specified in the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of law or any explicit or implicit provision of this document, any action taken or ruling or decision made, by the Plan Administrator in the exercise of any of its powers and authorities under the Plan, shall be final and conclusive as to all parties, regardless of whether the Plan Administrator or one or more of its members may have an actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to the subject matter of the action, ruling, or decision. Thus, no final action, ruling, or decision of the Plan Administrator shall be subject to de novo review in any judicial proceeding and no final action, ruling, or decision of the Plan Administrator may be set aside unless it is held to have been arbitrary and capricious by a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction with respect to the issue.

The Plan Administrator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) reasonably incurred by the Plan Administrator or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of the Plan Administrator’s own fraud or bad faith. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification the Plan Administrator may have as an officer or director or otherwise under the bylaws of the Company.

15. FOREIGN LAWS

The Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan with respect to all Non-US Participants in a manner designed to comply with applicable law while preserving the benefits provided under the Plan and avoiding duplication of benefits.

16. BASIS OF PAYMENTS TO AND FROM THE PLAN

All benefits under the Plan shall be paid by the Company. The Plan shall be unfunded and benefits hereunder shall be paid only from the general assets of the Company.

17. WITHHOLDING TAXES

The Company may (or may cause any member of the AMD Group to) withhold from all payments to the Executive pursuant to the Plan all taxes that are required to be withheld under applicable U.S. federal, state, local, or other non-U.S. law.

18. DENIAL OF BENEFITS

If an Executive is terminated, the Plan Administrator will notify the Executive of his or her entitlement to severance benefits. If an Executive is denied severance benefits, the Executive may file a claim for Benefits. Under normal circumstances, an Executive’s claim will be acted upon by the Plan Administrator within 90 days (up to 180 days if special circumstances require a delay) of receipt of an Executive’s claim. If an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant before the end of the initial 90-day period. If an Executive’s claim is denied or reduced for any reason, the Plan Administrator will notify the Executive of its action and the reasons why, with specific references to the Plan provisions that apply. The Plan Administrator will also tell the Executive how the Executive can appeal the decision. If the Plan Administrator does not act upon an Executive’s claim within 90 days (or 180 days, if a special circumstances extension applies), an Executive’s claim is deemed denied.

If an Executive’s claim is denied or reduced, or the Plan Administrator does not act upon an Executive’s claim within 90 days (or 180 days, if a special circumstances extension applies), the Executive may file an appeal with the Plan Administrator for a full and fair review of the denial of an Executive’s claim. To do this, the Executive must submit a written appeal to the Plan Administrator stating the reason the Executive believes he or she is entitled to benefits. The Executive shall have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to an Executive’s claim. The Executive (or an Executive’s duly authorized representative) shall be provided upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to an Executive’s claim. A decision on a request for review will be made not later than 60 days after receipt of a written request for review unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing (such as the need to hold a hearing), in which event a decision should be rendered as soon as possible, but in no event later than 120 days after such receipt by giving the Executive written notice indicating the special circumstances requiring the extension of time prior to the termination of the initial 60 day period. The decision on appeal shall be written and shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Executive, with specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, a statement that an Executive is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and

other information relevant to an Executive’s claim, and a statement of an Executive’s right to bring an action under ERISA section 502(a).

No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought until the Executive (a) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with the procedures described herein; (b) has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the application is denied (or the application is deemed denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to act on it within the established time period); (c) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with the appeal procedure described herein; and (d) has been notified in writing that the Plan Administrator has denied the appeal (or the appeal is deemed to be denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to take any action on the claim within the required time period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought after one year following the date an Executive’s benefits under the Plan originally were denied or deemed denied.

Following a Change of Control, the Company shall also pay forthwith upon written demand from the Executive all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Executive in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by the Plan. In the event the Executive does not prevail in any ensuing claim or litigation, the Company shall absorb its own costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees, and the Executive shall reimburse the Company for one-half of an Executive’s costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees.

19. SUCCESSORS

Any successor to the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) shall assume the obligations under this Plan and agree expressly to perform the obligations under this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Plan, the term “Company” shall include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which become bound by the terms of this Plan by operation of law, or otherwise.

20. COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY

Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, amounts paid or payable under this Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions the provisions of any compensation recovery (“claw-back”) policy implemented by the Company and applicable to a Participant, including, without limitation, the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Compensation Recovery Policy, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time.

22. STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS FOR U.S. PLAN PARTICIPANTS

As a Participant in the Plan, an Executive is entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all US Plan participants shall be entitled to:

a. Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits

Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites, all documents governing the Plan and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed for the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated Summary Plan Description. The administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

b. Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries

In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of an employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

c. Enforcement of Your Rights

If your claim for a benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time periods.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you’re discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you’re successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

d. Assistance with Your Questions

If you have any questions about the Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory, or at www.dol.gov/ebsa, or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration at 1-866-444-3272.

Document

Exhibit 19.1

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Stock Trading Policy

Federal and state laws prohibit trading in the securities of a company while in possession of material nonpublic information and in breach of a duty of trust or confidence. These laws also prohibit anyone who is aware of material nonpublic information from providing this information to others who may trade on the basis of that information. Violating such laws can undermine investor trust, harm the reputation and integrity of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “AMD”). AMD has adopted this Stock Trading Policy (“Policy”) to help you comply with federal and state securities laws and regulations that govern trading in securities and to help AMD minimize its own legal and reputational risk.

It is your responsibility to understand and comply with this Policy. Insider trading is illegal and a violation of this Policy. Directors, officers, employees and other third-parties who perform work for or on behalf of AMD who trade on the basis of material nonpublic information (or tip such information to others) can face liability, including criminal and civil fines, imprisonment and disgorgement of any profits gained or losses avoided. Any failure to live up to your commitment to comply with this Policy will be grounds for discipline or termination of your employment with AMD, whether or not your failure to comply with this Policy results in a violation of law.

Persons Covered and Administration of Policy

This Policy applies to all directors, officers, employees and any other third-parties who perform work for or on behalf of AMD. The same restrictions that apply to you apply to your family members who reside with you, anyone else who lives in your household, and any persons whose transactions in AMD securities you influence, direct or control. You are responsible for making sure that these individuals comply with this Policy.

This Policy continues to apply to you after termination of your employment or services to AMD. If you possess material nonpublic information, when your employment or services terminate, you may not trade in AMD securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. Additionally, if you are subject to a blackout period (as defined below), or if you are subject to a special trading restriction under this Policy at the time you are no longer affiliated with AMD, you are expected to abide by the applicable trading restrictions until at least the end of the applicable restriction.

Policy Statement

It is AMD’s policy that any AMD director, officer, employee, or third party who performs work for or on behalf of AMD, who possesses material nonpublic information, must refrain from purchasing, selling, gifting, transferring or otherwise trading in AMD securities or passing on the information to someone else until the information has been revealed by AMD to the public. Additionally, material nonpublic information about another company that you acquire in connection with your employment by, or service to AMD, is subject to the same trading

February 2025

restrictions. For example, if you possess material nonpublic information about AMD’s suppliers, customers, business partners, potential acquisition targets, joint venture partners or an economically linked company, such as a competitor or peer company, you cannot use that information to purchase, sell, gift, transfer or otherwise trade the securities of that company until the information becomes public or is no longer material. Information that is not material to AMD may nevertheless be material to one of those companies.

You may not directly or indirectly communicate material nonpublic information to anyone outside AMD (except in accordance with AMD’s policies regarding confidential information) or advise another person to trade on the basis of such information. You may also not directly or indirectly communicate material nonpublic information to anyone within AMD other than on a “need-to-know” basis.

“Securities” includes stocks, bonds, notes, debentures, options, warrants, equity and other convertible securities, as well as derivative instruments.

“Purchase” and “sale” are defined broadly under the federal securities law. “Purchase” includes not only the actual purchase of a security, but also any contract to purchase or otherwise acquire a security. “Sale” includes not only the actual sale of a security, but also any contract to sell or otherwise dispose of a security. These definitions extend to a broad range of transactions, including conventional cash-for-stock transactions, conversions, the exercise of stock options, and exercises of warrants or puts, calls, pledging and margin loans, or other derivative securities.

Transactions that may seem necessary or justifiable to you for personal reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure or due to their size) are not exceptions from this Policy. Trading in AMD’s securities on the basis of material nonpublic information is just as illegal with respect to a few shares as it is with respect to a large number of shares. Even the appearance of insider trading can lead to liability and must be avoided to preserve AMD’s reputation for adhering to the highest standards of ethical conduct.

Blackout Periods

Certain AMD directors, officers, employees, and other parties who perform work for or on behalf of AMD by virtue of their job are subject to mandatory controls on the timing of trading of AMD securities. These individuals have been notified that they are subject to these mandatory controls. In general, these individuals are limited to making these transactions during the four quarterly “window” periods”, which are preceded by the dissemination of AMD’s financial results. The General Counsel is responsible for informing the exact beginning and ending dates of each window period. These individuals must not purchase, sell, gift, transfer or otherwise trade any AMD securities during the blackout period, which ends after completion of the second full trading day after the public release of earnings data for such fiscal quarter or during any other trading suspension period declared by AMD (“blackout period”).

These restrictions do not apply to:

February 2025

•purchases of AMD securities from AMD, or sales of AMD’s securities to AMD;

•exercises of stock options or other equity awards or the surrender of shares to AMD in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or vesting of equity-based awards, in each case, that do not involve a market sale of AMD’s securities (the “cashless exercise” of an AMD stock option or other equity award through a broker does involve a market sale of AMD’s securities, and therefore would not qualify under this exception);

•gift transactions for family or estate planning purposes, where securities are gifted to a person or entity subject to this Policy, except that gift transactions involving AMD securities are subject to preclearance;

•“sell-to-cover” transactions pursuant to a non-discretionary policy adopted by AMD that is intended to facilitate the payment of withholding taxes associated with vesting of equity awards (other than stock options); or

•purchases or sales of AMD’s securities made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan.

From time to time, for legal or other reasons, the General Counsel may direct that directors, officers, employees or others suspend or discontinue trading in AMD securities. Subject to the exceptions noted above, all of those individuals affected should not trade in AMD’s securities while the suspension is in effect and should not disclose to others that AMD has suspended trading.

Preclearance of Trades

AMD Directors, officers, certain AMD employees and others that have been notified they are subject to mandatory controls must obtain preclearance prior to trading of AMD’s securities. In general, these individuals are limited to trading in AMD securities during the four quarterly “window” periods, which are preceded by the dissemination of AMD’s financial results.

AMD Directors, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents and Section 16 Officers are required to notify both the General Counsel and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of any transaction and must receive written approval from either the General Counsel or the CFO before effecting the transaction. The CFO is required to obtain approval from the General Counsel and the CEO. The General Counsel is required to obtain approval from the CFO and the CEO. The General Counsel and the CFO, or the CFO and the CEO for transactions by the General Counsel, have sole discretion to decide whether to clear any transaction.

Even if you are precleared, you should never execute a trade while in possession of material nonpublic information. Thus, if you become aware of material nonpublic information after receiving preclearance or become subject to a blackout period before the transaction has been executed, the transaction may not be completed. Transactions under a previously established

February 2025

Rule 10b5-1 plan that has been preapproved in accordance with this Policy are not subject to further preclearance.

Material Nonpublic Information

Information is “material” if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making a decision to buy, sell, or hold a security, or if the information is likely to have a significant effect on the market price of the security. Material information can be positive or negative. If the information makes you want to buy or sell, it would probably have the same effect on others. Also, information that something is likely to happen in the future—or even just that it may happen—could be considered material.

Examples of material information may include (but are not limited to) information about:

•corporate earnings or earnings forecasts;

•possible mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, or dispositions;

•major new products, product developments, roadmaps or manufacturing developments;

•technological developments, or discoveries, including any test results;

•large contracts or major business developments regarding a substantial customer or supplier (such as the gain or loss of a substantial customer or supplier);

•management or control changes;

•significant financing developments including pending public sales or offerings of debt or equity securities;

•defaults on borrowings;

•bankruptcies;

•cybersecurity or data security incidents; and

•significant litigation or regulatory actions.

Information is “nonpublic” if it is not available to the general public. So, even if the information is widely known throughout AMD, it may still be nonpublic. For information to be considered “public,” it must be widely disseminated in a manner that makes it generally available to investors in a Regulation FD compliant method, such as through a press release, a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or a Regulation FD compliant conference call.

February 2025

The circulation of rumors, even if accurate and reported in the media, does not constitute public dissemination. Even after a public announcement, a reasonable period of time may need to lapse in order for the market to react to the information. Generally, the passage of two full trading days following release of the information to the public, is a reasonable waiting period before such information is deemed to be “public.”

As a practical matter, determining whether you possess material nonpublic information is sometimes difficult. If you think something might be material nonpublic information, you should treat it as it is.

Prohibited Transactions

The appearance, as well as the fact, of insider trading in AMD securities must be avoided. AMD believes it is improper and inappropriate for any AMD director, officer, employee or other third-party subject to this Policy to engage in speculative transactions involving AMD securities. You may not engage in any of the following types of transactions, regardless of whether you possess material nonpublic information or not.

Short Sales

You may not engage in short sales involving AMD’s securities. Short sales (the sale of a security that you do not own at the time of the sale or the sale of a security with a delayed delivery) evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value. Additionally, Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act prohibits Section 16 reporting persons (i.e., directors, officers, and AMD’s 10% stockholders) from making short sales of AMD’ s equity securities.

Options

You may not engage in transactions in puts options, call options, or any other AMD derivative security on an exchange or in any other organized market. Puts are options to sell shares at a fixed price and calls are options to purchase shares at a fixed price.

Hedging Transactions

You may not engage in hedging transactions involving AMD’s securities, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, or other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of AMD’s equity securities.

Margin Accounts and Pledging

AMD recommends that you do not pledge AMD securities as collateral for a loan, purchasing AMD securities on margin (i.e., borrowing money to purchase the securities), or placing AMD securities in a margin account. However, this recommendation does not apply to the exercise of AMD stock options or vesting of AMD restricted stock units and the immediate sale of the shares acquired.

February 2025

No AMD Director, CEO, Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President may pledge AMD stock as collateral unless approved by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the AMD Board of Directors (“NCG Committee”), the CEO and the CFO. The CEO shall obtain approval from the NCG Committee, CFO and the General Counsel. Employees below Executive and Senior Vice President may not pledge AMD stock as collateral without the prior consent of the CFO and General Counsel. Approval for pledging is only granted in very limited circumstances.

Any AMD stock transactions that are not addressed in this Policy, or any AMD policy, are required to receive written approval from both the CFO and the General Counsel before the transactions are executed. The CFO is required to obtain written approval from the General Counsel and the CEO.

The General Counsel is required to obtain written approval from the CFO and the CEO.

Rule 10b5-1 Plans

The trading restrictions set forth in this Policy, other than those transactions described under “Prohibited Transactions,” do not apply to transactions under a previously established contract, plan or instruction to trade in AMD’s securities entered into in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 (commonly referred to as “10b5-1 plan”) that:

•has been submitted to and preapproved by the General Counsel;

•includes a “Cooling Off Period”

•for

oSection 16 reporting persons that extends to the later of 90 days after adoption or modification of a 10b5-1 plan or two business days after filing the Form 10-K or Form 10-Q covering the fiscal quarter in which the

10b5-1 Plan was adopted, up to a maximum of 120 days; and

oemployees and any other persons, other than AMD, that extends 30 days after adoption or modification of a 10b5-1 plan;

•for Section 16 reporting persons, includes a representation in the 10b5-1 plan that the Section 16 reporting person is (1) not aware of any material nonpublic information about AMD or its securities; and (2) adopting the 10b5-1 plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade Rule 10b5-1;

•has been entered into in good faith at a time when the individual was not in possession of material nonpublic information about AMD and during an open window, and the person who entered into the 10b5-1 plan has acted in good faith with respect to the 10b5-1 plan;

•the duration of the 10b5-1 plan is for at least 12 months, unless an exception is granted;

February 2025

•either (1) specifies the amounts, prices, and dates of all transactions under the 10b5-1 plan; or (2) provides a written formula, algorithm, or computer program for determining the amount, price, and date of the transactions, and (3) prohibits the individual from exercising any subsequent influence over the transactions; and

•complies with all other applicable requirements of Rule 10b5-1.

The General Counsel may impose such other conditions on the implementation, operation, termination or modification of the 10b5-1 plan as the General Counsel deems necessary or advisable. Individuals may not adopt more than one 10b5-1 plan at a time except under the limited circumstances permitted by Rule 10b5-1 and subject to preapproval by the General Counsel.

An individual may only modify a 10b5-1 plan outside of a blackout period and, in any event, when the individual does not possess material nonpublic information. Modifications and terminations of a 10b5-1 plan are subject to preapproval by the General Counsel.

AMD reserves the right from time to time to suspend, discontinue, or otherwise prohibit transactions under a 10b5-1 plan if the General Counsel or the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines that such suspension, discontinuation, or other prohibition is in the best interests of AMD.

Compliance of a 10b5-1 plan with the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and the execution of transactions under the 10b5-1 plan are the sole responsibility of the person initiating the 10b5-1 plan.

Interpretation, Amendment, and Implementation of this Policy

The General Counsel has the authority to interpret and update this Policy and all related policies and procedures.

Actions taken by AMD, the General Counsel, or any other AMD personnel do not constitute legal advice, nor do they protect you from the consequences of noncompliance with this Policy or with securities laws.

To report any violations or suspected violations of this Policy, please contact the General Counsel.

Questions regarding this Policy or specific transactions should be directed to AMD Stock Trading Policy Help Desk.
