SUNNYVALE, CA — 04/01/14 – AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announ­ced that it amen­ded its Wafer Sup­p­ly Agree­ment (WSA) with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. for 2014. Under the terms of the amend­ment, AMD and GLOBALFOUNDRIES agreed on purcha­se com­mit­ments for 2014 and estab­lished fixed pri­cing and other terms of the WSA which app­ly to pro­ducts AMD will purcha­se from GLOBALFOUNDRIES. Under this amend­ment AMD expects to pay GLOBALFOUNDRIES appro­xi­m­ate­ly $1.2 bil­li­on in 2014. The­se purcha­ses con­tem­p­la­te AMD’s cur­rent PC mar­ket expec­ta­ti­ons and the manu­fac­tu­ring of cer­tain Gra­phics Pro­ces­sor Units (GPUs) and semi-cus­tom game con­so­le pro­ducts at GLOBALFOUNDRIES in 2014. The 2014 amend­ment does not impact AMD’s 2014 finan­cial goals inclu­ding gross margin.

“The suc­cessful clo­se of our amen­ded wafer sup­p­ly agree­ment with GLOBALFOUNDRIES demons­tra­tes the con­tin­ued com­mit­ment from our two com­pa­nies to streng­then our busi­ness rela­ti­onship as long-term stra­te­gic part­ners, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ abili­ty to exe­cu­te in ali­gnment with our pro­duct road­map,” said Rory Read, pre­si­dent and chief exe­cu­ti­ve offi­cer, AMD. “This latest step in AMD’s con­tin­ued trans­for­ma­ti­on plays a cri­ti­cal role in our goals for 2014.”
