Los Ange­les, Calif. — June 10, 2019 — At the AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) “Next Hori­zon Gam­ing” live­stream event at E3 today, Pre­si­dent and CEO Dr. Lisa Su unvei­led the company’s next-gene­ra­ti­on PC gam­ing plat­form, brin­ging new levels of per­for­mance and effi­ci­en­cy and intro­du­cing powerful fea­tures for gamers ever­y­whe­re, based on the new AMD Rade­on™ RX 5700 Series gra­phics cards and 3^rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ desk­top processors. 

The AMD Rade­on™ RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 gra­phics cards are built on the new AMD RDNA gam­ing archi­tec­tu­re to deli­ver supe­ri­or visu­al fide­li­ty, light­ning-fast per­for­mance and advan­ced fea­tures to power the latest AAA and eSports titles. The new pro­duct fami­ly also includes the 50^th Anni­ver­sa­ry Edi­ti­on AMD Rade­on™ RX 5700 XT gra­phics card that com­me­mo­ra­tes the company’s 50^th anni­ver­sa­ry by offe­ring increased clocks and a luxu­rious gold accen­ted shroud fea­turing Dr. Lisa Su’s signature. 

The 3^rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ desk­top pro­ces­sors deli­ver lea­der­ship per­for­mance across gam­ing, pro­duc­ti­vi­ty and con­tent crea­ti­on appli­ca­ti­ons, offe­ring more per­for­mance-cri­ti­cal on-die cache than ever befo­re. Today, Dr. Su pre­view­ed the latest addi­ti­on to the pro­duct fami­ly – the 3^rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ 9 3950X, the world’s first 16-core main­stream desk­top processor. 

“We’ve made signi­fi­cant tech­no­lo­gy bets to push the enve­lo­pe on high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting and give gamers the hard­ware they need to power the expe­ri­en­ces they want,” said Dr. Su. “Our indus­try-lea­ding Ryzen 3000 Series desk­top pro­ces­sors and Rade­on RX 5700 Series gra­phics cards com­bi­ne lea­der­ship design, per­for­mance, tech­no­lo­gy and effi­ci­en­cy to pro­vi­de the ulti­ma­te gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces. From super-fast frame rates, to new levels of visu­al rea­lism and image qua­li­ty, or the abili­ty to easi­ly crea­te, cap­tu­re and share gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces, PCs fea­turing our new Ryzen pro­ces­sors and Rade­on GPUs offer excep­tio­nal per­for­mance and fea­tures for every gamer at every pri­ce point.”

“Seven­ty per­cent of PC gamers today are using three-year-old or older gra­phics hard­wareⁱ that lacks the neces­sa­ry hor­se­power and capa­bi­li­ties to deli­ver ful­ly immersi­ve, high-fide­li­ty and high-per­for­mance gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces,” said Scott Her­kel­man, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Rade­on Tech­no­lo­gies Group at AMD. “Our new Rade­on gra­phics cards with RDNA rede­fi­ne what’s pos­si­ble in 1440p game­play, deli­ve­ring stun­ning visu­als, ama­zing per­for­mance and indus­try-lea­ding fea­tures to take gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces to the next level.”

Supe­ri­or 1440p Gaming

The AMD Rade­on™ RX 5700 Series gra­phics cards include seve­ral powerful new fea­tures and capa­bi­li­ties to deli­ver supe­ri­or 1440p gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces, including:

• Ground-brea­king RDNA gam­ing archi­tec­tu­re – Built from the ground up for supe­ri­or per­for­mance, sca­la­bi­li­ty and power effi­ci­en­cy, RDNA was desi­gned to power the future of PC, con­so­le, mobi­le and cloud-based gam­ing for years to come. It fea­tures a new com­pu­te unit design opti­mi­zed for impro­ved effi­ci­en­cy, and a mul­ti-level cache hier­ar­chy desi­gned to pro­vi­de redu­ced laten­cy, hig­her band­width and lower power. It also includes a stream­li­ned gra­phics pipe­line that is opti­mi­zed for per­for­mance-per-clock and high clock speeds. Deli­ve­ring up to 1.25X hig­her per­for­mance-per-clockⁱⁱ and up to 1.5X hig­her per­for­mance-per-wattⁱⁱⁱ com­pared to the pre­vious-gene­ra­ti­on Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re, RDNA pro­vi­des the com­pu­ta­tio­nal hor­se­power to enable thril­ling, immersi­ve gam­ing by enhan­cing explo­si­ons, phy­sics, light­ing effects and more, and by deli­ve­ring flu­id, high-frame­ra­te gam­ing experiences. 

• Rade­on Image Shar­pe­ning (RIS) – Res­to­res cla­ri­ty to in-game images that have been sof­ten­ed by other post-pro­cess effects. RIS com­bi­nes with GPU uspca­ling to pro­vi­de sharp visu­als at flu­id frame rates on very high-reso­lu­ti­on dis­plays, and works across DirectX® 9, 12 and Vul­kan® titles. 

• Fide­li­ty­FX – An open-source deve­lo­per tool­kit available in the coming weeks on GPUO­pen that makes it easier for deve­lo­pers to crea­te high-qua­li­ty post-pro­ces­sing effects that make games look beau­tiful while offe­ring a balan­ce of visu­al fide­li­ty and per­for­mance. Fide­li­ty­FX fea­tures Con­trast-Adap­ti­ve Shar­pe­ning (CAS) that draws out detail in low-con­trast are­as while mini­mi­zing arti­facts cau­sed by typi­cal image shar­pe­ning rou­ti­nes. Deve­lo­pers plan to inte­gra­te CAS into a num­ber of popu­lar games, and Unity Tech­no­lo­gies plans to inte­gra­te it into its real-time 3D deve­lo­p­ment platform. 

• Rade­on™ Anti-Lag – Opti­mi­zed for eSports, Rade­on™ Anti-Lag impro­ves com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness by decre­asing input-to-dis­play respon­se times by up to 31 per­cent^iv, deli­ve­ring an expe­ri­ence simi­lar to hig­her framerates. 

• Extre­me refresh rates – RDNA enables Dis­play­Po­rt™ 1.4 with Dis­play Stream Com­pres­si­on (DSC) to deli­ver extre­me refresh rates, color depth and reso­lu­ti­ons up to 8K HDR at 60Hz or 4K HDR at 144+ Hz on cut­ting edge dis­plays, inclu­ding the world’s first moni­tor to sup­port DSC: the new ASUS Repu­blic of Gamers 43-inch moni­tor pre­vie­w­ing at E3. The new moni­tor is capa­ble of deli­ve­ring 4K HDR at 144Hz with a sin­gle Dis­play­Po­rt™ 1.4 cable. 

• Lar­gest gam­ing dis­play eco­sys­tem^v – With over 700 sup­port­ed moni­tors to choo­se from, gamers can enjoy stut­ter-free, tear-free game­play with AMD Rade­on Free­Sync™^vi and Rade­on Free­Sync™ 2 HDR tech­no­lo­gy^vii.

The 7nm Rade­on™ RX 5700 XT, RX 5700 and the 50^th Anni­ver­sa­ry Edi­ti­on Rade­on™ RX 5700 XT gra­phics cards are the first gam­ing gra­phics cards to sup­port the PCIe® 4.0 inter­face. Addi­tio­nal pro­duct specs include:

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 GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with obli­ga­ti­ons to purcha­se all of its micro­pro­ces­sor and APU pro­duct requi­re­ments, and a cer­tain por­ti­on of its GPU pro­duct requi­re­ments, manu­fac­tu­red at pro­cess nodes lar­ger than 7 nano­me­ter from GF with limi­t­ed excep­ti­ons. If GF is not able to satis­fy AMD’s manu­fac­tu­ring requi­re­ments, AMD’s 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 and mar­ket uncer­tain­ty may adver­se­ly impact AMD’s busi­ness and ope­ra­ting results; AMD’s pro­ducts may be sub­ject to secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties that could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; IT outa­ges, data loss, 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, repu­ta­ti­on and ope­ra­ti­ons; AMD’s ope­ra­ting results are sub­ject to quar­ter­ly and sea­so­nal sales pat­terns; 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 AMD’s abili­ty to ope­ra­te its busi­ness; the mar­kets in which AMD’s pro­ducts are sold are high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve; AMD’s world­wi­de ope­ra­ti­ons are sub­ject to poli­ti­cal, legal and eco­no­mic risks and natu­ral dis­as­ters, which could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on it; the con­ver­si­on of the 2.125% Con­ver­ti­ble Seni­or Notes due 2026 may dilute the owner­ship inte­rest of AMD’s 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 add-in-board 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 March 30, 2019.
