1A $5B five-year unsecured facility
It is a $5 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility. The administrative agent is J.P. Morgan Chase.

2What a revolving facility is
A revolving facility is a "standby liquidity line that can be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed at any time," and no amount was outstanding at signing. The use is general corporate purposes, of which up to $250 million may go to letters of credit. Interest is Base Rate or Term SOFR at AMD's election, plus a rating-linked margin (0.50–0.80% for SOFR).
3Securing flexibility, not drawing cash
In other words, AMD did not "actually borrow" — it secured and renewed financial flexibility and standby liquidity. As demand for AI GPUs/accelerators grows, it is preparing for agile funding.
4Borrowing, and holding a facility
Disclosing a revolving facility means something different from having raised money.
The facility is a $5 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase as administrative agent, replacing the existing facility dated 29 April 2022. Interest is at AMD's election either the Base Rate or Term SOFR plus a margin tied to credit ratings (0.50-0.80% for SOFR). Up to $250 million is available for letters of credit.
