=====================
(1) Computing Solutions Revenue = $3.6 billions (0r $900 millions per quarter estimate)
(2) Graphics Revenue = $1.4 billions ( or $350 millions per quarter estimate)
(3) Embedded Revenue = $.9 billions
=====================
Total Revenue for 2013 = $5.9 billions or $5.5 billions (estimate)
Actual Revenue for 2012 = $5.42 billions

I just don't see AMD bankruptcy in 2013. If my account does not get deleted by saying good things about AMD, then I might sitll post in 2014 something about AMD Steamroller or Sony's PS4 which will be shipping after the Xbox 720 or the Xbox Next.

For 2013, AMD will lose a little money or make a very little money. But Keeping expenses within $1.3 billions will keep AMD Ticking for many many more years.
I don't get you. First you come here talking like someone here foresees a bankruptcy in the short term. Sure, the risk is there, but it is not the baseline scenario of any analyst out there. What people are factoring is liquidation at some point in the future, because the company is unable to generate enough cash to sustain the business, but not a chapter 11 soon. Maybe you are not from the financial market, but listen to this: Every time the market is worried about the cash levels of a company, this company is in trouble. And people are talking a lot about AMD cash levels. There isn't a single Q&A where Kumar isn't bombarded with questions about cash.
And then your numbers... you and Eyefinity seem to have a flair to take numbers out of thin air and present then as factual truths, even when
they blatantly contradict AMD own estimates. I don't see any reasoning for that, except trolling. Take your CPU group numbers for example. Where will AMD make 20% growth in CPUs in a moment where the market is depressed and Intel has less than 50% of its fabs online? Or how do you keep those 3.6 and 1.4 billion numbers for CPU and GPU when today there is already 250-300 millions in revenues buried inside those groups? I'd be glad to be proven wrong, but I'd like to be proven wrong by numbers or at least good enough premisses, not by forum flame.
Speaking on forum flame. I didn't say that AMD spends 70 million per quarter in debt, but that 70 million in debt + non-opex would be a good estimate, not only because of debt, but because AMD will demand a lot of consulting, restructuring and financial engineering to survive this year, so an additional 25 million per quarter isn't an unfair estimate for those charges, or at least it is conservative enough for me to put in a valuation model.
The forum, btw, isn't really unfair to AMD. What most people here are talking, and I think it's a reasonable outcome, is that AMD is fading into irrelevancy, and I think you cannot disagree on that. AMD is less relevant than it was 6 yes ago, and much more than 8 years ago. And IF AMD survive its ordeal, it won't be the good old AMD that fought Intel with everything they had. It will be a much more leaner, smaller company, focused in embedded, micro servers and low power devices. When your main competitor spends more than twice in R&D what you earn in gross revenues, there isn't much you can do about this.
If you want to defend AMD from the trolls that live on this forums, then you should either ignore the trolls until they get tired or at least post correct information. Me and some others are open to discuss whatever good information and opinions, and we spend quite a deal of time answering posts forums, but please, not this.
