SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, AMD announ­ced the newest addi­ti­ons to the 3^rd Gen AMD Ryzen desk­top pro­ces­sor fami­ly, the AMD Ryzen™ 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen™ 3 3300X pro­ces­sors and AMD B550 Chip­set for Socket AM4 desi­gned for 3^rd Gen AMD Ryzen desk­top pro­ces­sors with over 60 designs in deve­lo­p­ment. Taking advan­ta­ge of the AMD world-class port­fo­lio of tech­no­lo­gies, the­se new Ryzen 3 desk­top pro­ces­sors bring the ground­brea­king “Zen 2” core archi­tec­tu­re to busi­ness users, gamers, and crea­tors world­wi­de, lever­aging Simul­ta­neous Mul­ti-Thre­a­ding (SMT) tech­no­lo­gy for increased pro­duc­ti­vi­ty. With dou­ble the threads, twice the band­width, and a wide sel­ec­tion of mother­boards in deve­lo­p­ment the AMD B550 chip­set and Ryzen 3 desk­top pro­ces­sors deli­ver the ide­al pro­ces­sing solu­ti­on from top to bottom.

“Games and appli­ca­ti­ons are beco­ming more and more deman­ding, and with this, users are deman­ding more from their PCs,” said Saeid Mosh­kela­ni, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, cli­ent busi­ness unit. “AMD is com­mit­ted to pro­vi­ding solu­ti­ons that meet and exceed tho­se demands for all levels of com­pu­ting. With the addi­ti­on of the­se new Ryzen 3 desk­top pro­ces­sors we are con­ti­nuing this com­mit­ment with our main­stream gam­ing cus­to­mers. We’ve taken per­for­mance up a level, doubling the pro­ces­sing threads of our Ryzen 3 pro­ces­sors to pro­pel gam­ing and mul­ti­tas­king expe­ri­en­ces to new heights.”

Con­ti­nuing to demons­tra­te its lea­der­ship in the con­su­mer desk­top space, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen 3 3300X repre­sent the fas­test ever AMD Ryzen 3 desk­top pro­ces­sors², brin­ging world class desk­top per­for­mance to main­stream gamers. They also stand for AMD’s com­mit­ment to impro­ving CPU per­for­mance and tech­no­lo­gies for con­su­mers by enab­ling SMT on a Ryzen 3 desk­top pro­ces­sor for the very first time.

The pro­ces­sors take advan­ta­ge of 18MB Cache, deli­ve­ring dra­ma­tic memo­ry laten­cy reduc­tion, trans­la­ting direct­ly to smoot­her, fas­ter gam­ing per­for­mance for high frame­ra­tes in CPU-hea­vy games. Fur­ther, with four cores, eight threads, and AMD SMT tech­no­lo­gy, the new Ryzen 3 pro­ces­sors pro­vi­de incre­di­ble mul­ti­tas­king per­for­mance and respon­si­ve­ness that con­su­mers need.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 offers:

• Up to 20% gam­ing per­for­mance than the com­pe­ti­ti­on³
• Up to 75% crea­tor per­for­mance than the com­pe­ti­ti­on⁴

AMD B550 Chipset

The new B550 chip­set for socket AM4 is the latest addi­ti­on to the AMD 500 Series chip­set fami­ly with sup­port for the indus­try-lea­ding AMD Ryzen 3000 Series desk­top pro­ces­sors. The upco­ming B550 mother­boards are the only main­stream modern chip­set with com­pa­ti­bi­li­ty for PCIe^® 4.0, unlo­cking twice the band­width of B450 mother­boards for high-speed, high-power per­for­mance in gam­ing and multitasking.

Cau­tio­na­ry Statement

This docu­ment con­ta­ins for­ward-loo­king state­ments con­cer­ning Advan­ced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) such as the fea­tures, func­tion­a­li­ty, timing, avai­la­bi­li­ty, expec­ta­ti­ons and bene­fits of the AMD Ryzen™ 3 3100, AMD Ryzen 3 3300X pro­ces­sors and the AMD B550 Chip­set for Socket AM4, which are made pur­su­ant to the Safe Har­bor pro­vi­si­ons of the Pri­va­te Secu­ri­ties Liti­ga­ti­on Reform Act of 1995. For­ward loo­king state­ments are com­mon­ly iden­ti­fied by words such as “would,” “may,” “expects,” “belie­ves,” “plans,” “intends,” “pro­jects” and other terms with simi­lar mea­ning. 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 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 world­wi­de ope­ra­ti­ons are sub­ject to poli­ti­cal, legal and eco­no­mic risks and natu­ral dis­as­ters, which could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on it; govern­ment actions and regu­la­ti­ons such as export admi­nis­tra­ti­on regu­la­ti­ons, tariffs, and trade pro­tec­tion mea­su­res, may limit our abili­ty to export our pro­ducts to cer­tain cus­to­mers; 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 has a wafer sup­p­ly agree­ment with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with obli­ga­ti­ons to purcha­se all of its micro­pro­ces­sor and acce­le­ra­ted pro­ces­sing unit (APU) pro­duct requi­re­ments, and a cer­tain por­ti­on of its gra­phics pro­ces­sing unit (GPU) pro­duct requi­re­ments manu­fac­tu­red at 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; uncer­tain­ties invol­ving the orde­ring and ship­ment of AMD’s pro­ducts could mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affect it; AMD’s ope­ra­ting results are sub­ject to quar­ter­ly and sea­so­nal sales pat­terns; the agree­ments gover­ning AMD’s notes and the Secu­red Revol­ving Faci­li­ty 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; the con­ver­si­on of the 2.125% Con­ver­ti­ble Seni­or Notes due 2026 (2.125% Notes) may dilute the owner­ship inte­rest of AMD’s exis­ting stock­hol­ders, or may other­wi­se depress the pri­ce of its com­mon stock; 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, memo­ry 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 (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 28, 2019.
