Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. as of
December 26, 2009 and December 27, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 26, 2009. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(1). These financial statements and
schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. as of December 26, 2009 and December 27,
2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 26, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. changed its
method of accounting for convertible debt that may be settled in cash upon conversion and the accounting for and
presentation of noncontrolling interests in its consolidated financial statements effective December 28, 2008.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the effectiveness of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as
of December 26, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 19, 2010
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
