SANTA CLARA, Calif. 

Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announ­ced the new AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO Pro­ces­sor line-up, with up to 64 cores and unri­val­led band­width3 built with enter­pri­se-gra­de AMD PRO tech­no­lo­gies. Desi­gned for pro­fes­sio­nal work­sta­tions from OEMs and sys­tem inte­gra­tors, AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO Pro­ces­sors uni­que­ly offer full spec­trum com­pu­te capa­bi­li­ties with unmat­ched core counts4 for mul­ti-threa­ded workloads plus high fre­quen­cy sin­gle core per­for­mance for light­ly threa­ded workloads. This com­bi­na­ti­on makes AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO Pro­ces­sors the best choice for artists, archi­tects, engi­neers and data scientists.

AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO Pro­ces­sors are pur­po­se-built to set the new indus­try stan­dard for pro­fes­sio­nal work­sta­tion com­pu­te per­for­mance,” said Saeid Mosh­kela­ni, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, AMD Cli­ent busi­ness unit. “The extre­me per­for­mance, high core counts and band­width of AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per Pro­ces­sors are now available with AMD PRO tech­no­lo­gy fea­tures inclu­ding seam­less mana­gea­bi­li­ty and uni­que built-in data pro­tec­tion5. Even the most deman­ding pro­fes­sio­nal envi­ron­ment is addres­sed with the new AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO line-up, from artists and crea­tors deve­lo­ping breath­ta­king visu­al effects, to archi­tects and engi­neers working with lar­ge data­sets and com­plex visua­liza­ti­ons, all brought to life on the most advan­ced pro­fes­sio­nal work­sta­tion plat­form in the world6.

AMD and Lenovo Partnership

The world’s first 64 core PRO work­sta­tion sys­tem, powered by the Thre­ad­rip­per™ Pro 3995WX7, will be available from Leno­vo this fall with its newest Think­Sta­ti­on P620, offe­ring unpre­ce­den­ted levels of power, per­for­mance and fle­xi­bi­li­ty in a sin­gle CPU chassis.

Our cus­to­mers need class-lea­ding, inno­va­ti­ve solu­ti­ons to power through the most deman­ding appli­ca­ti­ons,” said Rob Her­man, Gene­ral Mana­ger, Work­sta­tion and Cli­ent AI Busi­ness Unit, Leno­vo. “By lever­aging the AMD Thre­ad­rip­per PRO Pro­ces­sors for our newest work­sta­tion, the Think­Sta­ti­on P620, we can offer users the smar­ter solu­ti­ons to crea­te com­plex models, ren­der pho­to­rea­li­stic imagery or ana­ly­ze geo­phy­si­cal and seis­mic inter­pre­ta­ti­ons, while offe­ring cru­cial secu­ri­ty and sca­la­bi­li­ty fea­tures to ensu­re safe and effec­ti­ve ope­ra­ti­on for our pro­fes­sio­nal users.”

Leadership Performance

Built for the most deman­ding pro­fes­sio­nal envi­ron­ments, AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO Pro­ces­sors offer the power to ren­der and edit in 8K, dri­ve com­plex visua­liza­ti­ons and mul­ti­face­ted simu­la­ti­ons and rapidly pro­cess vast amounts of code to let pro­fes­sio­nal users do more with their time. With the unmat­ched per­for­mance of the Thre­ad­rip­per™ Pro 3995WX, even when com­pared with com­pe­ting dual pro­ces­sor sys­tems, AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per PRO Pro­ces­sors rede­fi­ne the work­sta­tion land­scape8.

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; the ongo­ing novel coro­na­vi­rus (COVID-19) pan­de­mic could mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affect AMD’s busi­ness, finan­cial con­di­ti­on and results of ope­ra­ti­ons; AMD’s world­wi­de ope­ra­ti­ons are sub­ject to poli­ti­cal, legal and eco­no­mic risks and natu­ral dis­as­ters which could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; govern­ment actions and regu­la­ti­ons such as export admi­nis­tra­ti­on regu­la­ti­ons, tariffs and trade pro­tec­tion mea­su­res, may limit AMD’s abili­ty to export its pro­ducts to cer­tain cus­to­mers; AMD 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; 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 its 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 may dilute the owner­ship inte­rest of its 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 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 March 28, 2020.
