I'd guess AMD is gonna have another one of those $600 million dollar losses for Q4. We'll find out Jan. 22nd. Will be quite a disappointment if it does happen, since AMD has been promising Q4 would be when they achieve break-even...

Well, it is the crappiest economic environment since 1974, maybe even since 1933. I just hope AMD (and Intel and nVidia) all survive this without needing to do layoffs.

I think AMD still has cushion with the new XBox2010. They are supplying the processor and video card.
