Thread, $1B this Q IS official. And so is $1B each Q.

I was wrong yesterday when I said the $1B was not official.

Here's what a poster at Yahoo got back when he emailed Toni Beckham:

"Thank you p3killer. This isn't all good news for those who were hopeful for a further preannouncement on Monday (that included me). I thought (for about 2 seconds) about keeping the information about no further press releases to myself. But here it is. For those who doubt the veracity of the emails, there is only one way to check it. Write to Toni Beckham yourself. The address is: toni.beckham@amd.com. It's also listed on amd's website and on the yahoo profile page for amd.

Here is the text of the second message. I will paste the first message below:

As I indicated in my previous message to you, Mr. Sanders made the revenue
comment at the Morgan Stanley conference and analysts have reported on it.
AMD already issued a press release indicating that we expect revenue to
increase over last quarter. The only difference is that we have attached a
number to it. However the previous guidance has not changed for the quarter.
With respect to future quarters, AMD will discuss its expectations on the
quarterly conference call on April 12. As the company's guidance has not
changed from our last press release about first quarter results, it is
unlikely that we will issue another one.

This is the text of the first message:

Yes. I said that AMD is not willing to give its processors away. I also
repeated Mr. Sanders' comments made at the Morgan Stanley conference last
week. Given the current outlook, the Company expects revenues of $1 billion
in each quarter this year."

Thanks Maddog.

If someone really wants to check up on this they could send their own email, but the wording seems very Beckham-like. ;)

Pravin - RE: "Athlon is clearly being promoted. Very nice to see, but it would be even nicer if they would advertize Athlon a little."

I wouldn't expect it. It was a surprise to us and the media when people began spotting HP Athlon systems at Sam's Club stores. HP hasn't even come out with a press release saying their Pavilions use the Athlon.


Cirruslvr,

Maybe HP and the other boxmakers aren't advertising 'cause they don't have to.
