AMD Redefines the Enthusiast Gaming Experience with Radeon™ RX Vega and Radeon™ Packs

SIGGRAPH 2017, LOS ANGELES, Calif. — July 30,
2017 — AMD
(NASDAQ: AMD) today formally launched the Radeon™ RX Vega family of GPUs, engineered
to be the cornerstone of the world’s most advanced and exciting PC gaming
platforms. Designed with forward-looking technologies that punch well above
their weight, Radeon RX Vega graphics cards mark AMD’s return to the
enthusiast-class gaming segment and a continuation of the company’s calculated
strategy to democratize leading technologies, giving more gamers access than
ever before.

There are three
variants of Radeon RX Vega: Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid Cooled Edition, engineered with 64
compute units1 to be the most powerful
Radeon ever built2;
the Radeon RX Vega 64
with air cooling, and the Radeon RX Vega 56, available starting at just $399 USD SEP.

For a limited
time in select regions, AMD and its industry partners are offering Radeon RX
Vega purchasers an unprecedented assembly of gamer “must-haves” in new Radeon™ Packs, including deep discounts on
select Ryzen™ multi-threaded CPUs and motherboards combos as well as select
Samsung displays with Radeon™ FreeSync displays, and two extraordinary AAA game
titles – all the ingredients necessary for the best possible PC gaming
experience in one of the biggest industry collaborations ever seen.

“The enthusiast
gaming experience is defined by high resolutions and a tear-free, buttery
smooth 60 frames per second, something that only approximately 600,000 gamers
are capable of enjoying today. But there are 4 million more gamers who aspire
to enjoy that same enthusiast gaming experience without breaking the bank, and
with Radeon RX Vega graphics cards we’re working to give them that.3 The combination of a Radeon
RX Vega graphics card, a beautiful FreeSync display, and a high-performance
Ryzen CPU and motherboard is everything a gamer

needs to enjoy the best
possible gaming experience, and with our Radeon Packs, we’re delivering all
three at a tremendous value. The groundbreaking new features in the ‘Vega’
architecture, including the High Bandwith Cache Controller, Rapid Packed Math,
Next-Generation Compute Units, and Refined Geometry Engine, will ensure that
gamers get even more out of their investments as new games take full advantage
of them in the weeks and months to come,” said Raja Koduri, senior vice
president and chief architect, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD.

Radeon RX Vega graphics
cards are built on the “Vega” GPU architecture, a direct response to the
evolving complexity and visual demands of today’s games. To meet these needs the
“Vega” GPU architecture puts pioneering graphics technologies previously
reserved for high-end graphics products into the hands of enthusiast gamers
everywhere. Bleeding-edge capabilities like Rapid Packed Math, the High
Bandwidth Cache Controller and new Geometry and Pixel Engines will help push
the performance envelope while gaming in low-level APIs like DirectX® 12 and
Vulkan®, giving developers more flexibility in designing the most intricate and
beautiful virtual worlds in today’s and tomorrow’s games.

Architected for better
enthusiast-class gaming – The Radeon RX Vega
represents the most sophisticated GPU
architecture ever designed for enthusiast-class gaming. It features next-gen
compute units enabling native processing of multiple data-type operations in
each clock cycle, and supporting variable data types making for a versatile
architecture across workloads, an enhanced geometry engine enabling incredible
efficiency in processing complex geometry while delivering more than 200% of the
throughput-per-clock over previous Radeon GPU architectures, an optimized pixel engine that improves
performance through a “fetch once, shade once” approach, and the world’s most
advanced GPU memory architecture consisting of a High Bandwidth Cache composed
of 8GB of leading-edge HBM2 memory, doubling the bandwidth-per-pin over the
previous generation HBM technology, and delivering 60%
more memory bandwidth over GDDR5. Together these advances result in
the Radeon RX Vega’s phenomenal computational muscle: up to 13.7 TFLOPS of peak
performance to power through even the most demanding games and VR applications.

•       Exceptional premium design – Radeon
RX Vega gaming cards have been impeccably
designed with state-of-the-art, premium styling. Select models feature a
satin-brushed aluminum shroud, an anodized aluminum backplate, customizable GPU
tach meter and iconic LED illumination, and controls for dual vBIOS. Air-cooled
versions boast the latest isothermic vapor chamber for maximum heat
displacement while the liquid-cooled version features a next-generation cooling
design incorporating a high-efficiency pump, zero-bend radius tubing and a
Nidec Gentle Typhoon fan for quiet operation.

•       Leading display technologies – PC
gamers expect variable refresh rate to be a
standard feature for monitors, and they don’t expect to pay an extra ‘feature
tax’ to get it. Radeon RX Vega graphics cards support Radeon™ FreeSync
technology, a

true leap forward for PC
gaming enabling smooth, vibrant HDR gaming4, 10-bit display support and low-framerate
compensation. There are more than 200 FreeSync displays available today, almost
seven times more than costlier competing technology. Radeon RX Vega graphics
cards support HDMI® 4K60 and

DisplayPort™ 1.45, enabling high-resolution
and high-refresh displays powering experiences such as Radeon™ FreeSync with
high-refresh, Ultra HD, ultrawide, and single-cable 5K resolutions.

•       Unmatched capabilities and control with Radeon™ Software – Radeon Software compliments
the sophisticated hardware of the Radeon RX Vega graphics card, enabling the
ultimate in performance, features and stability to ensure an exceptional
out-of-box experience that will keep getting better. New Radeon Software
features launched last week also benefit Radeon RX Vega users. Radeon™ WattMan
now enables memory underclocking for more engine headroom, fine-grained power
state controls for increased performance or power savings, and auto-overclock
and auto-power save features that allow WattMan to automatically adjust GPU
power states to

your preference.6 The best capture, stream and
sharing software in Radeon™ ReLive is now even better with options for higher
bitrate recording at 100 mbps, camera transparency for increased HUD visibility,
refined notifications and enhanced audio controls. And the AMD LiquidVR™ 360
plugin for VR Video Playback is the

first
GPU-accelerated end-to-end solution for HEVC 4K x 4K VR video playback7. Designed for 360
stereoscopic videos, the plugin supports ambisonic audio and is

accelerated by the GPU to
enable 65% higher frame rates8, no dropped frames9, and improve power
consumption by 15% during playback.10

A great PC gaming experience
comes down to more than just graphics. Serious gamers know that to achieve high
resolutions and a buttery smooth 60 frames per second, there are two must-have
elements: a beautiful adaptive refresh display for smooth, stutter-free gaming
and heightened immersion, a multi-threaded processor to deliver astounding
performance on a motherboard that supports these next-generation components.
Built around the new Radeon RX Vega graphics cards, Radeon Packs are designed
to put all of those technologies at gamers’ fingertips, allowing them to make
these upgrades much more cost-effectively than were they to buy each component
alone to drive silky 60+ frame-per-second 4K gaming in more than 100 popular
titles.11

Radeon Packs
include a $200 discount on the 34” Samsung CF791 curved ultrawide FreeSync
monitor, and a $100 discount on select Ryzen™ 7 1800X processor and 370X
motherboard combos — $300 in combined hardware savings. To power the new
setup, there are three options for Radeon RX Vega:

•       Radeon Red Pack – Featuring the Radeon RX Vega 56, an air-cooled card priced at $499 SEP.

•       Radeon Black Pack – Featuring the Radeon RX Vega 64, an air-cooled card priced at $599 SEP.

•       Radeon Aqua Pack – Featuring the Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid Cooled Edition, the most powerful of the Radeon RX Vega
graphics cards, priced at $699 SEP.

Along with the Radeon RX Vega
graphics card, the discount on the Samsung monitor with Radeon FreeSync and
Ryzen CPU+motherboard, each Radeon Pack also includes, in select regions, two
highly anticipated games in Wolfenstein®
II: The New Colossus™ and Prey®
for free, an estimated $120 value.12

For gamers who
already have the ideal setup and just want to get their hands on a
groundbreaking Radeon RX Vega graphics card, AMD is also offering the Radeon RX
Vega 56

on its own, the world’s most powerful graphics
card under SEP $400, and the Radeon RX Vega

64 air-cooled card priced at SEP $499.

“should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,”
“pro forma,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or the
negative of these words and phrases, other variations of these words and
phrases or comparable terminology. Investors are cautioned that the
forward-looking statements in this document are based on current beliefs,
assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this document and
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 significant industry transitions; if AMD cannot generate
sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or obtain external financing, it may
face a cash shortfall and be unable to make all of its planned investments in
research and development or other strategic investments; the loss of a
significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD; AMD’s receipt
of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is dependent upon its technology
being designed into third-party products and the success of those products;
global economic uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and operating
results; the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly competitive;
AMD may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations
or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a large amount of
indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position and prevent it
from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its contractual obligations; the
agreements governing AMD’s notes and the Secured Revolving Line of Credit
impose restrictions on AMD that may adversely affect its ability to operate its
business; AMD’s issuance to West Coast Hitech L.P. (WCH) of warrants to
purchase 75 million shares of its common stock, if and when exercised, will
dilute the ownership interests of its existing stockholders, and the conversion
of the 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership
interest of its existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price of
its common stock; uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of AMD’s
products could materially adversely affect it; the demand for AMD’s products
depends in part on the market conditions in the industries into which they are
sold. Fluctuations in demand for AMD’s products or a market decline in any of
these industries could have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations; AMD’s ability to design and introduce new products in a timely
manner is dependent upon third-party intellectual property; AMD depends on
third-party companies for the design, manufacture and supply of motherboards,
software and other computer platform components to support its business; if AMD
loses Microsoft Corporation’s support for its products or other software
vendors do not design and develop software to run on AMD’s products, its
ability to sell its products could be materially adversely affected; and AMD’s
reliance on third-party distributors and AIB partners subjects it to certain
risks. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in
AMD’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to
AMD’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2017.
