  Item 5.  Other Events.
  -------  -------------
  
       On September 30, 1997, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the Company) announced
  that lower than expected AMD K-6(TM) MMX(TM) yields resulted in lower revenues
  and an operating loss that was substantially larger than anticipated. The full
  text of the press release is set forth in Exhibit 99 attached hereto and is
  incorporated in this report as if fully set forth herein.
  
       Except for the historical information contained in the Company's press
  release, certain of the matters discussed in the press release are forward-
  looking statements about the AMD K-6 MMX Enhanced Processor that involve risks
  and uncertainties that the Company's production ramp will fall short of
  expectations, that new wafer fabrication process technologies will not be
  developed as rapidly as customers need or demand, that customer acceptance and
  demand of the product will continue, and that economic conditions will change
  and affect demand for microprocessors and other integrated circuits. Investors
  are urged to consult the risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company's
  reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
  Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 29, 1997.
