Charter of the

Audit and Finance Committee

of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., as amended and restated

This amended and restated Audit and Finance Committee Charter was adopted by the Board of Directors (the Board) of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (the Company) effective May 7, 2020.

  1. Purpose

The purpose of the Audit and Finance Committee (the Committee) is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and the audits of the financial statements of the Company.

In addition to the powers and responsibilities expressly delegated by the Board to the Committee in this Charter, the Committee may exercise any other powers and carry out any other responsibilities delegated to it by the Board from time to time consistent with the Company's bylaws. The powers and responsibilities delegated by the Board to the Committee in this Charter or otherwise shall be exercised and carried out by the Committee as it deems appropriate without requirement of Board approval, and any decision made by the Committee (including any decision to exercise or refrain from exercising any of the powers delegated to the Committee hereunder) shall be at the Committee's sole discretion. While acting within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it, the Committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee shall have the power to determine which matters are within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it and may exercise any other powers and carry out any other responsibilities consistent with this Charter, the purposes of the Committee, the Company's bylaws and applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Committee is entitled to delegate any or all of its responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Committee unless otherwise specified by this Charter or otherwise prohibited by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee's responsibilities are limited to oversight. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company's financial statements, including the estimates and judgments on which they are based, as well as the Company's financial reporting process, accounting policies, internal audit function, internal accounting controls and disclosure controls and procedures. The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm is responsible for performing an integrated audit of the Company's annual financial statements, expressing opinions as to the conformity of such annual financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), applied on a consistent basis, and as to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm is also responsible for reviewing the Company's quarterly financial statements. It is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and in accordance with U.S. GAAP and applicable laws, rules and regulations. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on the integrity of those persons within the Company and of the professionals and experts, including the Company's internal auditor or others responsible for the internal audit function, including contracted non-employee or audit or accounting firms engaged to provide internal audit services and the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm from which the Committee receives information and, absent actual

2020 Audit and Finance Committee Charter

knowledge to the contrary, the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons, professionals or experts.

Further, auditing literature, particularly PCAOB AS Section 3105, Reviews of Interim Financial Information, defines the term "review" to include a particular set of required procedures to be undertaken by the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The members of the Committee are not independent registered public accountants, and the term "review" as used in this Charter is not intended to have that meaning in the context of describing the role and responsibilities of the Committee and should not be interpreted to suggest that the Committee members can or should follow the procedures required of auditors performing reviews of financial statements.

  1. Membership

The Committee shall consist of no fewer than three members of the Board, subject to any available exception. Each Committee member must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. Either at least one member of the Committee shall be an "audit committee financial expert" within the definition adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) or the Company shall disclose in its periodic reports required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) the reasons why at least one member of the Committee is not an "audit committee financial expert."

Each Committee member shall satisfy the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1), subject to any available exception.

The members of the Committee and its Chair will be appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board and may be removed from the Committee, with or without cause, by the Board.

  1. Meetings and Procedures

The Chair (or in his or her absence, a member designated by the Chair) shall preside at each meeting of the Committee and set the agendas for Committee meetings. The Committee shall have the authority to establish its own rules and procedures for notice and conduct of its meetings so long as they are not inconsistent with any provisions of the Company's bylaws that are applicable to the Committee.

The Committee shall meet at least once during each fiscal quarter and more frequently as the Committee deems desirable. The Committee shall meet separately with management, with the internal auditor (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function) and with the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

All directors who are not members of the Committee may attend and observe meetings of the Committee at the invitation of the Chair but shall not be entitled to vote. At its discretion and at the invitation of the Chair, the Committee may include in its meetings members of the Company's management, representatives of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, the internal auditor (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function), any other financial personnel employed or retained by the Company or any other persons whose presence the Committee believes to be necessary or appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may also exclude from its meetings any persons it deems appropriate.

The Committee may retain any independent counsel, experts or advisors (accounting, financial or otherwise) that the Committee believes to be necessary or appropriate.
