News
By published

Still a little bit in the red.

AMD has released its third quarter financial report, showing revenue for the third quarter of 2010 of $1.62 billion, a net loss of $118 million, or $0.17 per share, and operating income of $128 million.  The company reported non-GAAP net income of $108 million, or $0.15 per share, and non-GAAP operating income of $144 million.

“AMD’s third quarter performance was highlighted by solid gross margin and a continued focus on profitability, despite weaker than expected consumer demand,” said Dirk Meyer, AMD president and CEO.  “Our strategy to deliver platforms with superior visual experiences continues to resonate.  We look forward to building on this momentum when we begin shipping our first AMD Fusion Accelerated Processor Units later this quarter.”

    Hope this doesn't eventually lead them to being bought out by somebody, like the rumors that recently rose up.

  • They are really getting dragged down with AMD's failures to create truly competitive cpus. Could be a really bumpy road till Bulldozer/Fusion; and a massive downhill slide if they don't get out a massive per core performance increase to match Sandybridge. At least HD6000 is looking promising.

    Once they pay off debt, as most of this is probably interest, they should be fine. They have actually made a decent bit of money this year, both in GPU and CPU. ATi division has been very succesful lately, and should really help bring AMD out of the depression that was phenom and 2008-2009.

    So sad. especially since I still own some AMD stock. I had to dump the AMD procs this year after years of loyalty (I still remember arguing with people how much better DDR was than RAMBUS or whatever intel failed with) When they stopped making any mobos that do SLI. I refuse to use their crossfire, and trying to ram it down my throat cost them the chip platform.

Intel could have dropped their prices aggressively to take AMD out of business but then AMD would have been acquired by IBM = big trouble.
