Memory: sales increased 33% Q-Q (all from Flash, up to $215M) Trend to higher density continues for cell phone market. richer mix, higher ASP. Very strong demand increasing capacity for y2k Q1 expected to be more than double Q1'99, then up 10% futher Q-Q
Embedded Processor Division: + Platform Products Division (AMD750) = $80M sales Q1 down $10-20M (partly due to VIA) This is okay with strategy.
Jerry: Q4'99 excellent Q for AMD PC processors. +67% revs sequentially to nearly $500M record shipments in excess of 6M
