| The Impact of Social Media on Your Marketing Strategies | January 2010 | 3

Social Media at AMD is NOT…

• A new way of push-marketing

• A Facebook or Blog strategy alone

• Only for B2C

• A replacement for messaging discipline

The Shift from “Traditional” to “Social”

• No new taxes

• No incremental headcount added

• Social media leverages existing core competencies

• Content is still king

• Content is optimized for the audience & channel

Video is still gaining in importance across all channels

• Video is still gaining in importance across all channels

• Messages haven’t changed

• 140 characters has a “slimming” effect

• We are still focused on informing, influencing and supporting the AMD ecosystem
