AMD Q1 results: huge losses
Posted on Friday, 20 April 2007 by Speed, source: Firingsquad
Firingsquad saw on the AMD Website that the chipmaker has reported huge financial losses for the first quarter of the year.
With a net loss of $611 million things don't seem to look too great, especially when comparing with the same period last year when they had a net profit of $259 million.
This is what AMD had to say:
I would think they urgently need to have a decent competitor to Intel's Core2Duo CPUs.

This is what AMD had to say:
“After more than three years of successfully executing our customer expansion strategy and significantly growing our unit and revenue base, our first quarter performance is disappointing and unacceptable,” said Robert J. Rivet, AMD’s chief financial officer. “We are aggressively addressing the issues that led to our significant revenue decline. We are aligning our business model, capital expenditures and cost structure with the goal of accelerating our return to profitability. Lastly, our customer relationships remain solid, reflecting their confidence in our strategic direction, current and new products, and technology roadmaps.”
I would think they urgently need to have a decent competitor to Intel's Core2Duo CPUs.

But I hope AMD will get back into the fight 'cause I've seen what happens to the Intel processor pricing when there's no competition and that's not a funny experience, not funny at all!
