Let me explain it to you, s-l-o-w-l-y.

Again I don't dispute the fact that AMD lost money in Q4. But if they lost money with each chip and where trying to make up for it in volume then they would have lost less if they had sold half as many chips. This is not true even if the ASPs would have been up.

Is this a slow enough explanation for you?

Tim

Winsock,

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.

AMD did not lose $177,968,000 in Q4. You must have heard the phrase garbage in, garbage out?
