ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 2, 2011, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a bonus award for each of the following Named Executive Officers (as defined in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 29, 2010): Mr. Thomas Seifert, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Emilio Ghilardi, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Sales Officer, for fiscal year 2010, under the Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The bonus awards consist of cash payments in the amount of $1,050,000 for Mr. Seifert and $942,865 for Mr. Ghilardi and will be paid in March 2011. Pursuant to the Plan, the bonus opportunities were based on the achievement of a pre-established key company-wide corporate financial measure, the non-GAAP operating income.

The Company intends to provide additional information regarding the bonus awarded to Mr. Seifert and Mr. Ghilardi for the 2010 fiscal year in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, which is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2011.
