SUNNYVALE, CA-APRIL 17, 2002-AMD today announced the new
mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP processor, the first AMD processor manufactured on its
state-of-the-art 0.13 micron technology.

"Extending the award-winning AMD Athlon XP brand name to
our mobile lineup conveys the overwhelming success our flagship AMD Athlon
processor family represents," said Ed Ellett, vice president of marketing for
AMD's Computation Product Group. "AMD has always focused on providing what
matters most to business and home consumers: leading-edge software application
performance and an exceptional computing experience. AMD's transition to 0.13
micron technology allows us to provide a roadmap to higher performance and lower
power options."

Sharp Corporation has announced notebook PCs in Japan
based on the new mobile AMD Athlon XP processor. Other computer manufacturers,
including Epson Direct and Packard Bell, are expected to offer new notebook PCs
featuring the mobile AMD Athlon XP processor later this quarter.

The mobile AMD Athlon XP processor based on the 0.13
micron technology maintains Socket A and pin compatibility with AMD's mobile
processors manufactured on 0.18 micron technology, while adding a 266MHz
front-side bus option to enable greater data throughput. In addition, a low
power version of the mobile AMD Athlon XP processor, with a new micro Pin Grid
Array (uPGA) packaging, is sampling now and expected to enable AMD to address
the thin-and-light notebook market.

"The launch of the mobile AMD Athlon XP processors based
on 0.13 micron technology on Socket A consolidate the company's position in the
consumer market, and the upcoming mobile AMD Athlon XP processors based on the
micro Pin Grid Array packaging position AMD for a strong thrust into the mobile
corporate market," said Shane Rau, PC semiconductor analyst at IDC.

The mobile AMD Athlon XP processor also features AMD
PowerNow!(tm) technology, the industry's most sophisticated power management
solution, and QuantiSpeed(tm) architecture, which delivers extreme performance
for the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system.

"Sharp Corporation welcomes the introduction of the
mobile AMD Athlon XP processor. We are confident a satisfactory PC experience
will be realized with our 'Mebius' series of personal computers which feature
the new AMD mobile processor," said Mototsugu Kawamori, Division General
Manager, Personal Computer Division, Information Systems Group, Sharp
Corporation.
