AMD BEATS EXPECTATIONS AGAIN

[9-inch]

AMD said Wednesday it earned $185 million, or 38 cents a share -- 8 cents higher than the average analysts' EPS expectation, which called for AMD to earn 30 cents.

Sales of $1.33 billion were in line with analysts' expectations, but at the low end of the company's own guidance.

AMD's gross margin increased to 58.5% in the first quarter, compared with 57.3% in the fourth quarter. The company said the increase was largely due to product mix improvement, higher desktop and notebook prices and manufacturing efficiencies

Keep the good job AMD.

Keep the good job AMD. Sweet, maybe instead of just bettering their manufacturing process, they'll invest in another manufacturing plant.

That must be Windows 95 on an Itanic :lol: .

 

[CallumN]

Nope, what my Athlon 2600+ mobile feels like sometimes. You think i would own an intel? And anyway, its Vista. :lol:

 

[Caboose-1]

It was just a joke, with the unstability of 95 on the crap Itanic, that seems like what would come out of it.

That's about the funniest thing that I have seen on this forum.

But don't you think that the trying to give a damn takes too damn long? It's like it's running on a Celeron 1500 son-of-a-Willy-core with 64MB RAM and XP clogged full of porn popups.

 

[CallumN]

Good point, i never even tried to give a damn. Anyway, the point is that as much as i like 9-inch's fanboyism, why the hell do you post stories that i read myself first thing when i wake up? If we wanted to know the news then we would read it.

But don't you think that the trying to give a damn takes too damn long? It's like it's running on a damn Pentium 60.

Yo MU_Engineer, i found a Motherboard with a Pentium 60,66 max speed is at ~198Mhz. Dunno if it's gongi to work or what, think it's a good idea Trying to make it run a Cut-up version of Linux?

 

[Action_Man]

 

[CallumN]

I wish i still had my Pentium 66. Was a beast, especially with that turbo button, and the counter that changed when you hit the restart button.

 

[MU_Engineer]

You could, but 66 MHz -> 198MHz is a HUGE overclock. Good luck.

And I also edited my post to be even funnier. The P60s are slow, but the P4 Williamette-based Celeries were regarded as even bigger dogs. I'd take a Pentium III 800 over one of those crappers any day.

 

[theaxemaster]

Amen to that. My PIII 800EB was faster than most of the Celerons that my family was buying in their new machines a few years later...

 

[MU_Engineer]

One computer lab that I frequent on campus has the following kinds of machines in it- there are only a few of each:

Pentium 4 Prescott 3.2GHz, 1GB RAM, 915 chipset
Pentium 4 Northwood 2.4GHz, 512MB RAM, 845 chipset
Pentium 4 1.5GHz, 256MB RAM, 845 chipset
Pentium III 933, 866, and 700MHz, 512MB RAM, 810 chipset
Pentium II 450MHz, 256MB RAM, 440*X chipset
Pentium II 233MHz, 256MB RAM, 440*X chipset

The Preshott is the quickest by a long shot, and the 2.4s see heavy usage as well. The Dell OptiPlexes with the 1.5s generally don't get used until the PIII machines fill up as they are dog-slow. The PII 450s seem to be not that much slower than those Willies. The 233s are pretty poky- few use them as they are stuffed in the corner. All of the computers run the same VLK version of XP Pro SP2.

This is good for AMD, hopefully they can horde this cash for the next couple quarters.

Just to put this in perspective though, Intel's _Profit_ last quarter was larger than AMD entire gross _revenue_ this quarter.

So after paying all of their employees, building fabs, paying for marketing, etc... Intel still had more money that AMD had before they did any of those things.

They will need much more than the good job in order to be good. They don't have even 10% of their rivals budget. So suffer, fanboy!
And get that new keyboard FFS!

 

[MU_Engineer]

Budget isn't everything. For example, the school districts in the city of St. Louis get more than double the per-student funding from the state than the state average. Yet they still lost their accreditation. And you would also think that with their huge budget, Microsoft could end the blue screens of death and make a secure OS. Yet they can't or won't.

 

[gOJDO]

MU_Engineer, yeap. That was my point, but 9-inch don't get it.

no mike, you are wrong....just becouse you have a stereotypic point of view at the things. You think that everyone that doesn't agree with your opinion that AMD is the only and the best, is actualy fanboy of its rival-Intel! Being a fanboy makes no sence, that is the only reason why I don't like fanboyistic stupid discussions
The difference between you and some other fanboys, whether they are blue or green is that you understand the things and know something more about your love AMD and its K8 processors.
I don't care about AMD or Intel. I buy what is more valuable for my money and I don't give a sh!t about its label.
I prefer AMD since Athlon K7 came. Actually I have only 2 Intel computers purchased in the past 5 years and 10 AMD. It is my HP Compaq nx8220 notebook with Pentium M 760 (Dothan) processor and a desktop with 1.8A Northwood with ASUS P4T-E i850 and RDRAM.

Erm......*cough*, eh, what?

I never said AMD is the best, and I am most certainly not a fanboy (some people think I am). I inform people of what's best when it's the best and make sure people know it. I feel like House on the show "House", he's always right but nobody wants to admit it, =/.

Tru64, but Adam doesn't really know a whole lot, he's kinda a moron when it comes to things sometimes. Jaime knows his sh!t more than Adam.
