We have widely sampled AMD Athlon XP processors (code-named ?Thoroughbred?) produced on 130-nm (nanometer) technology in Fab 30 in Dresden. We expect initial revenues from shipments of the Thoroughbred version in the current quarter...

We plan to begin shipments of the first members of the ?Hammer? family of PC processors on 130-nm technology employing SOI (silicon-on-insulator) technology in the fourth quarter of 2002. Meanwhile, we are continuing the development of a 90-nm technology node employing SOI technology, which we plan to implement in Fab 30 in 2003.

AMD and UMC will work together to develop leading-edge logic processes. As a part of this joint development effort, AMD will continue to focus on those areas of process and manufacturing that are key to our high-performance, future-generation PC processors. Under the agreement, AMD will gain immediate access to an existing UMC 300-mm wafer fabrication facility in Taiwan for R&D activities.

They nearly pulled off a profit in 2001 (net income loss of $60.6 million). Good for them. I'm not really knowledgable about AMD's history, was 2000 the only recent year they had a profit (their tables don't go back beyond 1997)?

Their 1998 and 1999 years were also unprofitable. But their revenues were also lower by about 1.5 mil .
