AMD Launches the World’s Fastest Graphics Card for Machine Learning Development and Advanced Visualization Workloads, Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, Available Now

Singapore – June 29, 2017 – AMD (NYSE: AMD) today unleashed
the first product based on its highly anticipated
“Vega” graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture: Radeon™ Vega Frontier
Edition. Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is the world’s first graphics card
designed to empower the next generation of data scientists, game designers and
visualization professionals, with up to 172 percent faster rendering
performance than the comparable competitor card1. Through its disruptive High
Bandwidth Cache Controller, the cornerstone of the world’s most advanced GPU
memory architecture – HBM2 – Radeon Vega Frontier Edition expands the capacity
of traditional GPU memory to 256TB, allowing users to tackle massive datasets
with ease, and scored up to 33 percent faster than the competition in the
DeepBench benchmark that measures the performance of basic operations involved
in training deep neural networks2.

“We’re dedicating Radeon Vega Frontier Edition
to all the visionaries and trailblazers who embrace new technologies to propel
their industries forward to help solve mankind’s greatest problems,” said Ogi
Brkic, senior director and general manager, Radeon Pro business, Radeon
Technologies Group, AMD. “With this powerful solution, we’ve brought the full
weight of our new ‘Vega’ GPU architecture to bear, offering unmatched3
performance in the most demanding design, rendering, and machine intelligence
workloads so that the world’s top creators, data scientists and game developers
can reach new frontiers in their fields.”

“AMD did a stunning job on the industrial design
of the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition. The blue-anodized brushed aluminum shroud
and lit Radeon inlays are downright elegant,” said Kelt Reeves, president of
Falcon Northwest. “The high-airflow I/O bracket and vented anodized backplate
are a beautifully executed example of how form can follow function and still
make for a beautiful product.”

Together with AMD’s open-source, fully scalable
ROCm software platform,

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition paves the way for
pioneers to continue pushing boundaries in fields like artificial intelligence
(AI). Developers can now use the power of the “Vega” architecture for machine
learning algorithm development on the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition faster than
with any other GPU on the market2, before deploying it out to massive servers
equipped with Radeon Instinct accelerators. This powerful new solution also
delivers a disruptive performance per dollar equation, solidifying AMD’s
leadership in compute total cost of ownership (TCO).

Radeon
Vega Frontier Edition delivers the horsepower required for design and
manufacturing firms to drive increasingly large and complex models and to
deploy real-time visualization and physically-based rendering. The Radeon Vega
Frontier Edition’s revolutionary memory engine also allows professionals to
achieve photorealistic detail in computer-generated imagery. A visualization
powerhouse, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition GPU offers exceptional multi-GPU
scaling, with 91 percent faster rendering using two Radeon Vega Frontier
Edition GPUs4.

The Radeon
Vega Frontier Edition graphics card simplifies and accelerates game creation by
providing a single GPU that is optimized for every stage of a game developer’s
workflow. This includes everything from asset production to playtesting and
performance optimization. With the Radeon Pro Settings user interface, users
can seamlessly switch between “Radeon Pro Mode” and “Gaming Mode” to alternate
between development on animation applications like Autodesk® Maya and
performance optimizations with free, open source tools available through AMD’s GPUOpen initiative.

The
compute power in Radeon Vega Frontier Edition and its support for an open
software ecosystem also give a new breed of developers and filmmakers the
ability to break new ground in virtual reality (VR) and 360-degree video
content. AMD’s fastest Radeon VR Ready Creator graphics card ever, Radeon Vega
Frontier Edition achieves the maximum possible score in the SteamVR benchmark,
up to 21 percent higher than the multi-GPU Radeon™ Pro Duo solution5. Combined
with Radeon™ Loom, AMD’s revolutionary 360-degree video stitching technology,
creators can stitch high-resolution video in real time.

Radeon
Vega Frontier Edition graphics cards are available from etailers in select
regions today with an SEP of $999 USD for the air-cooled edition. The
water-cooled edition is expected to launch in Q3 with an SEP of $1499.

involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from current expectations. Such statements are subject to certain
known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to
predict and generally beyond AMD’s control, that could cause actual results and
other future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or
projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations
include, without limitation, the following: Intel Corporation’s dominance of
the microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may limit AMD’s
ability to compete effectively; AMD has a wafer supply agreement with GF with
obligations to purchase all of its microprocessor and APU product requirements,
and a certain portion of its GPU product requirements, from GLOBALFOUNDRIES
Inc. (GF) with limited exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s
manufacturing requirements, its business could be adversely impacted; AMD
relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they are unable to
do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies,
AMD’s business could be materially adversely affected; failure to achieve
expected manufacturing yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its
financial results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon its ability
to introduce products on a timely basis with features and performance levels
that provide value to its customers while supporting and coinciding with
