http://www.amd.com/en-us

The learnability of this website is quite good as the homepage is not cluttered with content and there a simple menu to navigate various section of the site which make user efficiently finding the one that they want. Search bar also exist to help to find not frequently visited section of the website. The website feature icons to help user to instantly recognize the function of the button with description beside it. The overall layout of the website is quite nice to see but very bandwidth heavy with the use of  many heavy graphics element. Another point is that it was design to view a bit farther from the screen as everything seem huge when view close up which can make user feel hard to navigate.

Most information can be found on the horizontal header bar which turn into drop down menu according to which menu button the user hover on. The menu category is pretty straight forward to so that most user can recognize easily on which section they want but there a lack of icon with the exception of the globe icon that represent the language settings of the website which is don't have a really clear cut meaning on first glance. The search bar also exist to help user find specific information faster than going through the menu. Error solution is pretty limited to basic function like undo and most information on the Frequently Ask Question is more on their product that they selling. The design is pretty clean and uncluttered with the same button so that the design is consisted across the site but can be pretty pale to some.
