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

On February 10, 2012, 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 May 3, 2011): Mr. Thomas Seifert, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Harry Wolin, the Company’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, for fiscal year 2011, under the Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The bonus awards consist of cash payments in the amount of $227,945 for Mr. Seifert and $178,670 for Mr. Wolin. Pursuant to the Plan, the bonus opportunities were based on the achievement of a pre-established key company-wide corporate financial measure, non-GAAP operating income. In addition, the Compensation Committee approved a cash bonus award for Mr. Rory P. Read in the amount of $530,770, which is equal to 150% of the portion of his base salary from August 25, 2011 through December 31, 2011, and is consistent with the terms of the employment agreement between Mr. Read and the Company. These bonus awards will be paid in March 2012.

The Company intends to provide additional information regarding the bonus awarded to Mr. Read, Mr. Seifert and Mr. Wolin for the 2011 fiscal year in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, which is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2012.
