Dear Philip:

At Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) we believe that a great company is made up of great people. In that spirit, we are pleased to extend to you this offer of employment to join our innovative company. The details of this offer are outlined below (unless otherwise specified, all monetary amounts are in the United States’ local currency):

Your AMD job title will be that of Corp. VP, Chief Accounting Officer reporting to Jean Hu.

This is a Full-time position.

The working hours shall be in accordance with the standard working hours applicable to your department or section. You also agree that AMD may transfer your workplace and work assignment, as necessary for the business needs, subject to applicable law.

Your employment will commence on November 18, 2024, or at another mutually acceptable date.

Base Salary: You will be paid a salary of $400,000.00/Annually prorated based on your hire date. All payments are subject to deductions and withholdings required by law. Your base salary will be subject to regular review and any increases will be within AMD’s sole discretion.

You will be eligible to participate in Advanced Micro Devices Inc.’s Annual Incentive Plan (Bonus Plan), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonus Plan document. Your initial target bonus opportunity will be 70% of your annual base pay, prorated based on your start date during your first calendar year of employment. If your date of hire is October 1 or later, you will not be eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan for this year (and there will be no payout in respect of this year), but your eligibility will begin next year in accordance with the Plan terms. All Bonus Plan payments are at the discretion of AMD management and may be adjusted based on job performance, business conditions and/or employment. All Bonus Plan payments are subject to deductions and withholdings required by law.

You will also receive a one-time gross sign-on bonus of $250,000.00 (subject to deductions and withholdings as required by law) to be paid within 30 days of your date of hire at AMD. Although you will receive this bonus within 30 days of your hire date, the bonus is only earned in its entirety when you have been employed at AMD for two full years from the bonus payment date. If your AMD employment terminates prior to two years from the bonus payment date, you must repay to AMD all or a prorated amount of the bonus according to the terms and conditions of the enclosed Sign-on Bonus Agreement. It is your responsibility to review the terms of the Sign-on Bonus Agreement, by executing this offer letter you are agreeing to its terms.

Subject to approval by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.’s Board of Directors or its designated committee, you will be awarded Long-term Incentives valued at 1,500,000 USD as follows:

An RSU grant valued at 1,125,000 USD as follows:

o    Grant made on the 15th of the month following the start date

o    Vesting 1/4th on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversary of the grant date

o    Value divided by the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the 30 trading-day period ending on the Grant Date to determine number of RSUs

A PRSU grant valued at 375,000 USD (the “Target Value”) in performance-based RSUs (the “2024 PRSUs”) with a payout that will range from 0% to 250% of the target number of shares subject to the award (the “Target Shares”).

o    Value divided by the average closing price of the Company’s stock over the 30 trading-day period ending on the Grant Date to determine the number of Target Shares

o    The actual number of PRSUs earned will be based on the following performance criteria: The Company’s stock price growth relative to the S&P 500 Index growth over the three-year performance period (the “Performance Period”) which runs from August 9, 2024, and ending August 9, 2027; and

o    The Company’s two-year non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (EPS) Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), based on the 2024 non-GAAP EPS vs. 2026

o    Earned and vested PRSUs will generally be settled on the later of August 15, 2027, or the date following the Compensation and Leadership Resources Committee’s certification of performance.

Once approved, these RSUs will be granted by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and are separate from your regular compensation, with rights and obligations governed by the applicable grant and equity plan documents.

This Sign-On Bonus Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (including its affiliated companies) (“AMD”) and Philip Carter(“Employee”) (collectively, the “Parties”). Employee may not amend or revise anything in this Agreement without express written consent and agreement of AMD.

1.    Sign-On Bonus. AMD agrees to pay Employee a one-time Sign-On Bonus of

$250,000.00 within thirty (30) days of Employee’s first day of work for AMD (“Hire Date”) and subject to all required taxes and withholdings. The Parties agree that the Bonus is an unvested wage advance upon receipt that Employee will earn in its entirety by remaining employed by AMD for 24 months following the Bonus payment date.

2.    Repayment of Bonus. Employee agrees to repay to AMD all or a prorated amount of the Bonus, according to the following terms:

a.    Repayment Due to Termination of Employment. If Employee’s employment with AMD terminates less than 13 full months after the Bonus payment date, Employee agrees to repay one hundred percent (100%) of the Bonus. If Employee’s employment with AMD terminates at least 13 full months after the Bonus payment date, but less than 24 full months after the Bonus payment date, Candidate agrees to repay the full amount of the Bonus, less eight-point thirty-three percent (8.33%) for each full month of employment completed after the twelfth month of employment. Employee agrees that repayment obligations under this Agreement are not reduced by completion of partial months of employment other than as stated in this paragraph. Employee further agrees that Employee will repay the Bonus by no later than the effective date of the employment termination, and that any outstanding balance on such repayment obligation is delinquent and immediately collectable the day following the effective date of termination, or on the date notice of resignation is provided, whichever is earlier.

b.    Repayment Forgiveness. AMD agrees to forgive any repayment due AMD under this Agreement where AMD terminates Employee’s employment due to a company- or department-wide reduction-in-force. AMD may also, in its sole discretion, forgive any repayment due AMD under this Agreement under circumstances of an extraordinary or unavoidable nature. The Parties agree that Employee’s voluntary termination of his/her employment, or AMD’s termination of Employee’s employment for any reason other than those stated in this section 2(b), are not conditions requiring forgiveness of any repayment due AMD under this Agreement.

3.    No Guarantee of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement guarantees employment for any period of time.

4.    Consent to Offset. Employee agrees that any repayment due AMD under this Agreement may be deducted to the extent permitted by law from any amounts due Employee from AMD at the time of employment termination, including wages, accrued vacation pay, incentive compensation payments, bonuses, and commissions, and hereby expressly authorizes such deduction(s).

5.    Acknowledgments and Integration. Employee understands he/she has the right to discuss this Agreement with any individual, and that to the extent desired, he/she has availed himself/herself of this opportunity. Employee further acknowledges that he/she has carefully read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement, and that he/she is voluntarily entering into it without any duress or pressure from AMD. Employee also understands and acknowledges that this Agreement is the entire agreement between him/her and AMD with respect to this subject matter, and Employee acknowledges that AMD has not made any other

statements, promises or commitments of any kind (written or oral) to cause Employee to agree to the terms of this Agreement.

6.    Severability. The Parties agree that should any provision of this Agreement be declared or determined by any court to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall nonetheless remain binding and enforceable, and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) shall be modified only so much as necessary to comply with applicable law.
