AMD Records Gains and Losses

Print

AMDAMD's net income for Q1 2011 total $510m (up from the previous quarter's $375m and Q1 2010's $257m), with revenue totalling $1.16B (a 2% sequential decrease and 2% Y-o-Y increase).

The company says the results are thanks to strong demand for the first generation of its "Llano" Fusion APUs, aimed for the notebook market. Q1 2011 Fusion APU shipments total 3.9m-- making "roughly half" of the company's notebook shipments.

AMD's Computing Solutions segment meanwhile reports revenues decreasing by 2% sequentially (with a 3% Y-o-Y increase), due to a decreasing chip ASPs (partially offset by higher desktop microprocessor sales).

The graphics segment's revenues are also down, with a 3% sequential decrease and a flat Y-o-Y-- AMD however hopes for growth, as Apple's Macbook Pro refresh carries HD 6490HD and 6750M graphics chips.
