SUNNYVALE, CA -- February 25, 2005 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced it will provide significant support to legendary musician Bono of U2 to make his wish of accelerating Internet connectivity to hundreds of thousands of Africans a reality. Bono’s wish to connect every hospital, health clinic and school in Ethiopia to the Internet is one of three wishes granted to him by Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) as part of the 2005 TED Prize.
<p>
AMD, Bono and TED share the belief that there is a profound benefit to connecting a larger share of the world’s population to the Internet. AMD’s support of this wish springs from the company’s 50x15 Initiative to connect 50 percent of the world’s population with basic computing capability and Internet connectivity by the year 2015.

“We are honored to help make Bono’s vision a reality in the context of our 50x15 commitment: to empower 50 percent of the world’s population with Internet access by 2015,â€
