AMD/ATI Ships 25 Millionth DirectX 11 GPU
Leading the way into DirectX 11.
AMD didn't have the best financial news to report, as it went through another third quarter loss, but its graphics division did have some good news. Revealed at the same time as the financials was that AMD has shipped over 25 million DirectX11-capable ATI GPUs since introduction in September 2009.
The added competition from Nvidia may have played a part in ATI's revenue down 11 percent over the previous quarter, but things are still up 33 percent year-over-year.
The ATI division's operating income was $1 million, compared with $33 million in Q2-10 and $2 million in Q3-09.
AMD will hope to increase that number of DirectX 11 Radeon HD GPUs sold, as it will be unveiling new products this week. Stay tuned!

New products? Oh I wish it'll be the 6000 series
So their Net profit on each unit is only $1?
Argh, I mean 10c
Cruise, 25 Million in the last YEAR.
Hurry up with releasing the new video cards AMD!!!!! I just want to upgrade already!!!!!!!!
Better products don't seem to help much in defeating nvidia's brand.

CRUD! iv'e already spent several thousand on graphics cards this year.. i just knew i should have waited.. i waited for fermi and now i wish i hadn't.
you will be waiting for ever if you dont get something. Im sure your thousands of dollars of graphics cards will play games just fine. Whats your problem?
I would have guessed far less... 25 million discrete 5xxx, workstation, and mobile Dx11? is that even possible? I would have assumed that maybe ATI + nVidia together, YTD, might approach that. I'm intrigued... I want more details. That would be like every resident of California purchasing one ATI gpu product in the past 12 months. Factoring in the continued availability of DX10.1 and DX9 units results in a veritable f*ck-ton of gpus. Especially since there are no DX11 chips intergrated into motherboards.
I'm amazed at how amd and nvidia can still sell their cards one year after release without lowering their prizes. To me at least half the value is gone when the card is one year old. I guess the world is full of suckers.
6770 aka 6870 aka barts xt i will buy 2
25 million isn't that much compared to the number of shipped cpus!
There will be more Radeon GPUs sells in the future, but they won't be just graphcis card, but also on their Llano and Ontario APUs, with on board Radeon 5000s GPUs................
Finally, u can play Crysis on IGP,
If developers continue concentrate on console gaming, and less on PC, I'm afraid I'm going to stop upgrading. We need more PC games that utilize the FULL power of modern PC!, fully optimized...
Remains to be seen 2011 when AMD will have Bulldozer/llano/Radeon 6xxx series ... it should be a good year financially for AMD with even better results into 2012, i even think they will get a raise in stock market too in the upcoming years.
I wonder if GPU's that we are hearing about in development are pci 3.0 if at all. i like to also see all the cpu core and whatever possible hardware i throw at software to use it also. I just think they wont do it as the time spent making amazing games or the risk for being innovative is costly. I still think we need a lot better developing tools to balance things out. I would think APU will even be more complicated to take full advantage of just going to hope for the best, cheers to the future.

I was reading rumors that AMD's Radeon 7xxx series are suppose to support PCI 3.0. If that's the case I'm just going to hold off buying new gpu until my next build in a year or two from now.
New products or a re branded product? Yeah, they are rebranding now. They mocked Nvidia for it in the past, but now they...
The new 28nm process better be good, or I will buy nvidia next.
year or 2 Well i believe all be doing the same. AMD APU and Intel new platforms will be on the market. I love to see the benchmarks and the bugs all worked out if their is any. hmm the future hmmm the future so expensive lol
Amd is doing well and with the coming of 6800=5770 replacement check here

o yeh that a xfx grafic card
6970 XT FTW. Nice upgrade from my 5870 for my 2560 x 1600 monster display!
Great to hear AMD doing this much!!
So sad that ATI brand is going off..
Still waiting on the AMD 6000 series GPU's on Tuesday. AMD has a cooler, quieter, less expensive and generally better product out right now. Performance wise they are great. Nvidia does not have a competitor to the 5970. They are a year behind and just filling in their gaps. AMD coming out with their next gen cards on Tuesday. Give 2 weeks for vendors to stock up and prices to stabilize.
Argh, I mean 10c
There is no net profit. AMD took a loss.

PCI Express 3.0 probably won't be a big deal because the performance gain going from x8 to x16 was pretty minor. It would definitely help with the data bursts but the maintained speed will probably be the same.
And in other news starving children in africa are wondering where all the love went
I love the price/performance of these cards
I'm hoping to buy the 5870 successor sometime next year maybe after a refresh of the lineup
I would love to know in what percentages they sold the 5300, 5500, 5700 and so on
Wonder why Charlie isn't writing a article on these financial results.
The blogger who whines about Nvidia endlessly. How does his rantings that ATI could lower their prices and compete/destroy Nvidia, make sense when even without competition for dx11 cards for months, ATI raising msrp's, they still not make money ?
