Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On June 7, 2013, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Executive Severance Plan for Senior Vice Presidents (the “Plan”) in order to implement a uniform process for handling potential future departures of senior executives. The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide separation pay to the Company’s senior vice presidents in the United States (each, a “Participant”).

The Named Executive Officers (as defined in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 16, 2013), other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, participate in the Plan.

Subject to the terms of the Plan, any Participant who (i) is involuntarily terminated from the Company other than for Cause (as defined below) or as a result of death or disability (as defined in the Plan) and (ii) is not offered a job with an affiliate of the Company or a successor of the Company, shall be entitled to the following benefits:

Under the terms of the Plan, “Cause” is defined as, among other things, (i) an act or omission by a Participant resulting in him or her being charged with a criminal offense involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or breach of trust; (ii) conduct by a Participant which constitutes a felony, plea of guilty or nolo contendere with respect to a felony under applicable law; (iii) conduct by a Participant that constitutes gross neglect; (iv) a Participant’s insubordination or refusal to implement directives of his or her manager; (v) a Participant’s failure to substantially perform his or her job duties with the Company; or (vi) a Participant’s poor performance of his or her job duties as determined in the sole discretion of the Company.

The Participant’s receipt of the above severance benefits is subject to the Participant executing a general release. Additionally, the Company will set off on a pro-rata basis any severance benefits in the event a Participant becomes re-employed by the Company during the 12-months following receipt of a severance payment under the Plan.

This Plan is intended to represent the exclusive severance benefits payable to a Participant by the Company. Accordingly, any Participant who is entitled to receive severance benefits payable in connection with a change of control of the Company pursuant to a change in

control agreement is prohibited from also receiving severance benefits under this Plan. In other words, a Participant may not collect severance benefits under this Plan if he or she receives benefits under a change in control agreement between the Participant and the Company.

Although the Company expects to maintain the Plan indefinitely, the Company reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time. Therefore, entitlement to severance benefits under the Plan are not guaranteed and may be eliminated in the future.

The description of the Plan contained in this Item 5.02 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Plan (and related exhibits thereto), filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits.
