Thread: AMD still made revenue

It is often said that good things come to an end. The worst also, for the second consecutive quarter after 3 years of losses, AMD has racked up profits. We can even assume that the first quarter of 2010 is the first where the Greens have emerged real operating profits. The previous quarter, the positive result was due to payment by Intel to $ 1.25 billion in compensation to AMD's competitive practices.

While the last quarter, AMD earned $ 211 million following the sale of its shares in GlobalFoundries. But even failing this exceptional income into account, AMD's net profit. Beyond earnings, AMD also welcomes the increase of its turnover from one year to another. It is true that the first quarter of 2009 was strongly marked by the crisis, but an increase of 33% is always good to take. It is mainly due to graphics cards that have jumped 88%. AMD and indicates that the average selling price and sales volume of GPUs have increased. Sales of mobile GPUs set a new record. The only disappointment comes from the GPU integrated consoles. Sales of processors (CPU), have increased by 23% over the year. AMD, however, is prudent and provides a drop in sales for the second quarter of 2010.
