AMD Increases Sells
Enlarge pictureAfter analyzing the quarterly results, AMD announces that it has made some progress both in mobile chips for notebooks and in desktop processors. The company is declared to have better cash flow and reduced operating loss. AMD presents a growth up to 43 per cent in chip sales, although most of this is due to the notebook sales from retailers and not on the commercial market. The quad-core AMD Opteron "Barcelona" registered tens of thousands of shipments and many more are expected to ship in the fourth quarter of this year, which played an important part in the company's sales, according to Dirk Meyer, AMD's president. Is there a possibility that Barcelona's significance was overplayed by marketeers?.

45nanometer(nm) From AMD?
AMD is expected to come back to floating line until 2009. The company already produces 45 nanometer processors beside the known 65nm ones. In the first half of the next year, the company will start its production ramp of 45 nanometer processors, as Dirk Meyer declared. This statement sounds better than expected, considering AMD's previous claims related to its good handling of 65nm migration.

Quite interesting. Competition between Intel and AMD is always a good thing for consumers. It results in lower chip prices!
Exactly AMD must have done all of this behind closed doors until now.

I'll believe that when we see third-party information on the sales of AMD, not information directly from AMD.

Also, it'd be more credible if it was from a source that's well known in the tech world. Softpedia is software, not hardware.

I'm gonna agree with JM here.
I agree with JM also.
I just posted the article.

AMD isn't producing and 45nm products currently.

I agree with JM also. I learn more things.Thank you for sharing.
