Pravin,

If revenues and operating expenses are both going to be up 8% in Q3, and margins in CPG are now 59% and expected to be in the 55-60% range, where do increased earnings come from?

Increased units, increased ASPs.

Joe

Pravin, well first of all, 8% more op exp = $17M, while 8% more CPG revs would be $61M. :)

Second of all, AMD is calling for GREATER than seasonal CPG sales growth. (which they did pretty much define as > 8% in the Q&A.)
