Material Impairments, Other Events


ITEM 2.06. Material Impairments.

Pursuant to FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the "Company") performed an interim impairment analysis of its goodwill and intangible assets associated with its Handheld and DTV reporting units of the Consumer Electronics segment that it acquired from ATI Technologies. The Company undertook the analysis because the reporting units have not performed in accordance with the Company's expectations and as part of the Company's strategy of evaluating the viability of its non-core businesses. On July 9, 2008, the Company concluded that the current carrying value of the goodwill and intangible assets associated with these reporting units was impaired.

The Company's estimate is that the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges will be approximately $880 million. These impairment charges will be recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2008.

The Company will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of these impairment charges.



ITEM 8.01. Other Events.

During the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2008, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to reduce its breakeven point. The plan primarily involves the termination of employees which commenced during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2008. The Company expects to record a restructuring charge of approximately $32 million in the second quarter of 2008. A majority of this $32 million charge is related to employee severance, and a majority of this severance was paid by the Company during the second quarter of 2008. The Company believes that subsequent charges related to this restructuring plan will consist primarily of employee severance payments. However, the Company does not expect these charges to be material.

In addition, in the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2008, the Company expects to incur other-than-temporary investment impairment charges of approximately $36 million related to the Company's short-term investments. These charges consist of a $24 million charge for the Company's investment in Spansion Inc. and a $12 million charge related to the Company's holdings in Auction Rate Securities.

Also, during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2008, the Company expects to recognize a gain in connection with sales of certain 200mm wafer fabrication tools which the Company expects will have a materially favorable impact on its gross margin for the second quarter of 2008. The Company's estimate is that the gross margin impact will be approximately $190 million.
