That's when the fun really begins. :lol:

$1.18 billion. Really really good. Looks like my prediction were way off! 😀
I said -$100 million.

after adjustments AMD shares still fell by 5 cents, depends on the context of the guess. I was 32 million off on product company earnings before adjustments.

How much ATI's new gen cards had a role in this, i wonder? Is there any way to know how much ATI contributed to the profit?

 

[verndewd]

I posted that info from AMD

I don't think there is a breakdown specifically that deals with just the 5xxx series, however for Q4 2009, the Graphics Division had revenue of $427million, with Operating Income of $53million.

As opposed to being constantly surrounded by enemies and having rockets land on people's heads? Ok put it this way, I'd rather have fabs in the UAE instead of Israel because it's a much safer country - contrary to your suggestion..

Well that's sorta the point - Israel has the biggest army & airforce in the region, and nukes to back that up. The UAE has a ton of money and some security guards and relies on buying off potential threats for the most part - cost of doing business and all that. Anyway consolidating all chip fabrication control in the hands of one country that is only pro-Western on the surface is not a good idea, unless you think an embargo would be good.

It's not even 100 years since the Suffragettes brought about change here, and I'm sure places like the UAE will change as soon as the women there make it happen

Yes that would be nice to see, but with stuff like my link above going on, I foresee millenia or longer before any significant change occurs. C'mon, surely you've read all the horror stories about women getting buried alive for not wanting to marry whoever their fathers or brothers tell them to, etc etc. That's the mindset that seems pretty common for strict Islamists.

I have a daughter from a previous marriage so I'm quite sympathetic to women's issues..

 

[fazers_on_stun]

Funny your should say that ... I knocked back a job to run a new college in the UAE on the basis that my wife wouldn't last a day without getting locked up / flogged etc ...

She would struggle too much with the different cultural values.

/sigh ...

Aha - so you're secretly married to Jenny?? TC will be so jealous! 😀

But seriously I agree - I wouldn't want any women to go there to live without knowing what they are getting into, or the consequences of even a minor infraction of very strict, and IMO very backwards, laws.

Ive known several contracted to work over there, moneys great, but restrictions are severe.
One friend, whod made oodles o bucks contemplated a long time before he declined a further contract, inctead he just bought a house and a new truck with the money hed already made, and stayed in the states.

We only post stupid statements when we are sure your going to read them.

Its all about you ... we are trying to improve your self esteem ... make you feel better about yourself.

Call it group therapy.

I have high hopes your going to make it out of here soon ... and into the real world.

Keep banging those rocks together ...

heh heh.

Nice one, hehe, I'm falling of the chair... But before you continue with your group gangbang, test yourself first and don't even try to even think of doing that to others before you do. It seems you have nothing better to do than just bash everyone with a different opinion and make yourself look smart doing that to your group, like all people on Tom's do anyway, so I can't blame you. I will always reply to a statement put against me, no matter how stupid it is, and from what I've seen, you do that too, so ease off a bit and try not to make yourself a greater clown than you are...

Fanbois / Fanboys

A word which means "I'm special", "I'm allowed out today" and " My padded cell is really cosey and has 5000 buttons" and "Im not really a nut case but ive escaped from my cell with a button, a hair clip and a wheel barrow ".

You seem to have found me out ... I tip my hat to you sir.

Vern ... did I outstupid him or is cry still in front??

And regarding fanboi comments I switch sides daily ... possibly tomorrow I will be pushing VIA or ARM ...

Or Apples C4 ... which isn't really Apples' ... more a peach.

Well in general you tend to be more objective it seems CS is finally getting on board with that , and I had a TIA 2 days ago so I am still feeling like I have suffered a concussion , so reading isnt my strong suit these past 2 days.

CS lost points for referring to it as a gangbang youre up because you didnt sink to that level as far as I have read today.

Jenny, what the heck! Intel did not outsource Atom. They build Atom at their 45nm plants. Intel only outsourced Atom in SOC format.

At this time I have yet to hear if any company has designed a SOC Atom.

Intel does have a tsmc deal with atom chips, I found the data , but I believe its 65nm atoms.IDK i forget what I read, dont care right now either.

Man ... that's a big atom.

The atomic mass of that sucker must be ....

unobtanium

 

[pausert20]

You know if I could only find unobtanium. I would be worth billliions. Billliiiions I say.

Dude... The only reason because of which you state I'm stupid is because I don't agree that Intel wrote the Bible... How more ignorant can you be?

True. But I hear the natives are unfriendly 😛.

I've heard the IMax 3D version is a killer, literally, since some Korean dude died while watching Avatar. I'll hafta check the Smithsonian IMax theater website - that 6-story-tall screen and 12KW sound system is something else. So far I've seen Batman: Dark Knight and Star Trek there - well worth the $12 admission IMO...

you realize the enire chip industry follows the whole moores "law" thing right?

 

[verndewd]

unobtanium

i used to have a rig with an unobtanium in it I oc'd it to 4ghz on air, it was wierd because I knew the speed was there i just couldnt use it 😀

 

[Cryslayer80]

I can see where this is going...

 

[verndewd]

A little photo shop and bam !!! I haffs made me an unobtanium 😀
