Just a thought for you. If AMD actually were actually selling below cost, then the more they sold, the more they would lose...this just isn't the case.
K, all is well at AMD.
$50 CPUs will keep them afloat im sure with US $10bln in debt looming overhead.
Phenom is a joke, and Intel will drive quad core prices down to the bargain bin too once 45nm gets rolling.
Im not an Intel fanboi, im looking at this from AMDs position. Where is their out? When will profitability return?
Look at the numbers, look at their stock price, look at their debt. Youd have to be retarded to think AMD is making money.
You're jumbling together all kinds of things, and many of them are wrong...
1. Obviously AMD is selling their parts for a profit (as I pointed out). Otherwise, the more they sell, the more they lose...
2. AMD has only $5.34 B in debt, not $10 Billion.
3. AMD's debt is reducing and their cash is increasing.
4. AMD's sales are increasing.
5. AMD's ASP (Average Sales Price) is increasing.
6. AMD's graphics income is increasing.
7. AMD suspects that there is a very good chance they will break even this quarter, and that's without Phenom income.
