AMD sold a record 8 million PC processors in the first quarter of 2002. Total PC processor sales of $684 million for the quarter grew by 3 percent compared to $661 million in the like period of 2001. Processor sales declined by 3 percent from the record $703 million reported in the seasonally strong fourth quarter of 2001.

Sales of AMD memory products, principally flash memory devices, continued to be weak, amounting to $160 million, compared to $411 million in the like period a year ago and $196 million in the fourth quarter of 2001.

"Shipments of the desktop version of the AMD Athlon XP processor on 130-nm technology will commence this quarter," Sanders said.

"While sales of flash memory products once again declined substantially, there are signs that the industry flash crash is now behind us," Sanders said. "For the second consecutive quarter, total shipments in both units and bits increased while pricing remained weak. Bookings for flash memory products improved over the prior quarter, and visibility is improving. Demand was strongest for our higher-density flash memory devices, and we are seeing signs of a recovery in the cellular telephone sector, where we are gaining market share at the market leaders.

"We will begin sampling flash memory products with our proprietary MirrorBit(TM) technology in the current quarter, and expect that these products will contribute to Memory Group revenues in the second half of the year. MirrorBit technology is a breakthrough in memory cell architecture that enables a flash memory cell to store twice as much data as a standard flash memory cell with no compromise in device performance and reliability," Sanders said.

"In January January: see month.  we saw working silicon for our Hammer family of processors. We have commenced sampling to key infrastructure partners. Our early results strengthen our confidence in our plans to begin shipments by the end of 2002," Sanders concluded.

, and actual results could differ materially. Economic and industry conditions remain uncertain, and continue to make it particularly difficult to forecast product demand. The company's current outlook is based on the following projections.

The company expects substantial sequential growth in sales of flash memory devices in the second quarter.

The company expects that unit sales of PC processors in the second quarter will follow seasonal patterns, which generally show a sequential decline in the range of 5 to 10 percent. The company expects to maintain unit market share at current levels in the PC processor market. The company expects to sell substantially increased volumes of AMD Athlon XP processors manufactured on 130-nm technology in the current quarter.

Depending on unpredictable PC processor pricing patterns in a generally weak PC market and the rate of growth in the flash memory market, AMD aggregate sales are expected to be in the range of $820 to $900 million in the second quarter.
