Tim - Re:"However the expression "lose money on each chip and make up for it with volume" implies that there is an incremental loss which is not there." Let me explain it to you, s-l-o-w-l-y. In Q4, AMD lost $177,968,000 on the sale of ~8million processors. That means that on average, AMD wrapped a $20 bill around every processor sold. Explain again why the $90 million in "special charges" should be excluded? AMD never explained the reason and the analysts are not buying it either.
