2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ PRO and AMD Athlon™ PRO Mobile Processors to Power New Premium to Entry Commercial Notebooks

New AMD Ryzen PRO and AMD Ath­lon PRO powered com­mer­cial note­books from HP and Leno­vo pro­vi­de the power-effi­ci­ent per­for­mance, sili­con-level secu­ri­ty fea­tures, and bat­tery life to get busi­ness users through the work day.1

SANTA CLARA, Calif. 

Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announ­ced the latest addi­ti­ons to its PRO pro­ces­sor lin­e­up: 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen PRO mobi­le pro­ces­sors with Rade­on™ Vega Gra­phics and AMD Ath­lon™ PRO mobi­le pro­ces­sors with Rade­on Vega Gra­phics. Pro­vi­ding com­mer­cial note­book users with power-effi­ci­ent per­for­mance, sta­te-of-the-art secu­ri­ty fea­tures, and com­mer­cial-gra­de relia­bi­li­ty and mana­gea­bi­li­ty, the­se new pro­ces­sors enable glo­bal PC manu­fac­tu­r­ers to crea­te a wide ran­ge of busi­ness sys­tems, from pre­mi­um pro­fes­sio­nal note­books to ever­y­day pro­duc­ti­vi­ty note­books. Initi­al com­mer­cial sys­tems from HP and Leno­vo are expec­ted this quar­ter with other OEMs and fur­ther plat­form updates anti­ci­pa­ted later in 2019.

Modern PC users expect the expe­ri­ence bet­ween pro­fes­sio­nal and per­so­nal to be imper­cep­ti­ble, and busi­ness note­book users want to uti­li­ze the latest modern fea­tures inclu­ding 3D mode­ling, video editing, mul­ti-dis­play set­ups while mul­ti­tas­king secu­re­ly, to get more done,” said Saeid Mosh­kela­ni, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Cli­ent Com­pu­te, AMD. “With AMD Ryzen PRO and Ath­lon PRO mobi­le pro­ces­sors, AMD deli­vers the right per­for­mance, fea­tures, and choice to OEMs and com­mer­cial users, com­bi­ned with the pro­duc­ti­vi­ty, pro­tec­tion, and pro­fes­sio­nal fea­tures nee­ded to ensu­re seam­less deploy­ment throug­hout an organization.”

2nd Gen Ryzen PRO Mobile Processors:

Built on 12nm manu­fac­tu­ring tech­no­lo­gy, the new AMD Ryzen™ PRO 3000 Series mobi­le pro­ces­sors deli­ver best-in-class per­for­mance2 and increase pro­duc­ti­vi­ty by offe­ring up to 16% more mul­ti-thre­a­ding pro­ces­sor per­for­mance than com­pe­ti­ti­on3.

Spe­ci­fi­cal­ly, the new AMD Ryzen PRO mobi­le pro­ces­sors deliver:

  • up to 12 hours of gene­ral office use or up to 10 hours of video play­back1,
  • up to 14% fas­ter con­tent crea­ti­on4 and acce­le­ra­ted ever­y­day office appli­ca­ti­ons with inte­gra­ted Rade­on Vega gra­phics, from 3D mode­ling to video editing,
  • powerful secu­ri­ty fea­tures on all Ryzen PRO pro­ces­sors with AMD’s secu­ri­ty co-pro­ces­sor built into the silicon,
  • and 18-month of image sta­bi­li­ty, 24-month of pro­ces­sor avai­la­bi­li­ty, com­mer­cial gra­de qua­li­ty, enter­pri­se-class mana­gea­bi­li­ty, and 36-month limi­t­ed war­ran­ty to sys­tem manufacturers.

AMD is also offe­ring “Zen”-based5 Ath­lon PRO mobi­le pro­ces­sors, brin­ging a grea­ter choice of mobi­le com­pu­ting expe­ri­en­ces across the full bud­get spectrum.

Cau­tio­na­ry Statement

This press release con­ta­ins for­ward-loo­king state­ments con­cer­ning Advan­ced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) inclu­ding the fea­tures, func­tion­a­li­ty, avai­la­bi­li­ty, timing, deploy­ment, bene­fits and expec­ta­ti­ons of the 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ PRO and AMD Ath­lon™ PRO Mobi­le Pro­ces­sors as well as their expec­ted addi­ti­ons to OEM plat­forms in the future, which are made pur­su­ant to the Safe Har­bor pro­vi­si­ons of the Pri­va­te Secu­ri­ties Liti­ga­ti­on Reform Act of 1995.

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; AMD pro­ducts may be sub­ject to secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties that could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; data brea­ches and cyber-attacks could com­pro­mi­se AMD’s intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty or other sen­si­ti­ve infor­ma­ti­on, be cos­t­ly to reme­dia­te and cau­se signi­fi­cant dama­ge to its busi­ness and repu­ta­ti­on; AMD’s ope­ra­ting results are sub­ject to quar­ter­ly and sea­so­nal sales pat­terns; glo­bal eco­no­mic uncer­tain­ty may adver­se­ly impact AMD’s busi­ness and ope­ra­ting results; 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; the mar­kets in which AMD’s pro­ducts are sold are high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve; 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 Annu­al Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended Decem­ber 29, 2018.
