Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On November 3, 2011, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) began the implementation of a restructuring plan (the “Plan”) to strengthen the Company’s competitive positioning, implement a more competitive cost structure and conduct a workforce rebalancing to better address faster growing market segments. The Plan primarily involves approximately 1,400 employees who either have been notified that their employment with the Company will be terminated or will be notified regarding the termination of their employment during the remainder of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Plan also involves additional cost reduction actions that will take place during the remainder of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and in fiscal 2012.

The Company currently estimates that it will record restructuring expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 of approximately $101 million. Of this amount, approximately $56 million is related to severance and costs of continuation of certain employee benefits, approximately $44 million is related to contract or program termination costs and approximately $1 million is related to asset impairments. Of the total fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 restructuring expense, approximately $56 million will be cash expenditures in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, $29 million will be future cash expenditures in fiscal 2012 and $15 million will be future cash expenditures in fiscal 2013.

In addition, the Company currently estimates that it will record restructuring expense in fiscal 2012 of approximately $4 million. Of this amount, approximately $3 million is related to severance and costs of continuation of certain employee benefits and approximately $1 million is related to facility site closures, substantially all of which is expected to be paid in fiscal 2012.

The Company believes the Plan will result in operational savings, primarily in operating expenses, of approximately $10 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and $118 million in fiscal 2012.

As a result of the worldwide workforce reduction, the Company may be subject to the recapture of certain foreign tax holiday benefits that the Company previously realized. The Company is currently evaluating the extent, if any, of such benefits recapture.

A copy of the Company’s press release relating to the restructuring plan is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
