Senior notes are issued to obtain cash for operations. Buying the notes back early means that AMD has cash they can use now to reduce future debt, i.e. paying off the notes at a higher total cost.

Like Jorge said - paying down long term debt with available cash.

In essence, they are moving the company out of its stock slump bit by bit.
