AMD Named to Top 20 of Clean Capitalism Ranking

SUNNYVALE, CA, Feb 08 (MARKET WIRE) --
AMD (NYSE: AMD) was today named by Corporate Knights to its inaugural
list of the S&P 500 Clean Capitalism Ranking, placing among the top
twenty companies to be recognized. Corporate Knights, which defines
"clean capitalism" as "responsible, resource-productive and socially
just", employs a transparent, quantitative methodology to compile its
ranking, evaluating factors such as energy and carbon productivity,
leadership diversity and employee turnover.

"By combining a strong set of quantitative metrics with transparent,
best-in-class research, Corporate Knights is providing a valuable tool to
help key stakeholders decide which companies are truly committed to
corporate responsibility," said Allyson Peerman, corporate vice
president, AMD Public Affairs. "AMD's worldwide stakeholders should
celebrate not only this prestigious recognition, but also their
commitment to a company that walks the talk."

AMD was also recognized recently by Trust Across America, a think tank
dedicated to promoting and recognizing trustworthy business behavior, as
one of the Top Ten Most Trustworthy Public Companies for 2011. The Trust
Across America study independently analyzed over 200 data points with
respect to five key corporate indicators of trustworthy business
behavior: financial stability and strength, accounting conservativeness,
corporate integrity, transparency, and sustainability. According to its
founders, the framework, initially conceived and developed in 2008 with a
group of academics, corporate leaders and consultants, is "the most
holistic and comprehensive trust 'health' checkup for public companies."
