Intel has best quarter in its history

Phynaz

Phynaz

Lifer
Revenue $10.8B
Income $2.8B


Next quarter looks to be another record breaker as they raised their revenue estimates to $11.2B - $12.0B, with 65% - 69% margins.

Here's hoping things are just as good for AMD.

If true though its no wonder they haven't released Sandy Bridge yet, why would they ?

even if Bulldozer is faster than SB Intel would still be making tons more just because of they are Intel.

+1 to this.

If intel could make the public believe the P4-D was just as good as a X2, they can make more money if Bulldozer raped SB.

Well you gotta give it to them, they're very good at PR.

In some ways it's kinda like Apple, who somehow managed to make it seem impressive that the iPhone 4G has a flash and can multitask.
 
no i doubt the consumer side saw as much profit as the enterprise side.

And that being said, intel basically dominates the enterprise sector.

Lets see..

Intel makes:

Boards
Chipsets
Cpu
SSD
Controller cards

.... the list goes on and on.

And lets not forget how much more expensive the Xeon are as you go up the ladder.
 
Well they hit it out of the park with the SSDs, and they seem to be on a roll with their consumer chips as well.

If Bulldozer rapes Sandy Bridge, I fully expect that Bulldozer will go to jail. I would rather it killed Sandy Bridge so it can change its name to . . . oh nevermind.

somehow I doubt that. those sub-200 chips don't make as much.

There are two things AMD has going for it outside of the enterprise sector:

1). Globalfoundries' zero-defect wafers: http://www.brightsideofnews.com/new...roduces-zero-defect-wafers2c-10025-yield.aspx

2). Their GPU business.

Not that either of the above won't contribute to their enterprise earnings, mind you, but that's beside the point: if they're going to make money outside of enterprise, it's either because Globalfoundries is letting them crank out more processors per wafer than they could when K10 first launched and because they've been walking all over Nvidia at many different price points (GF104 may change that).

It must be from the wildly successful Larrabee launch. 😉

The scary thing is that Intel could develop and then more-or-less shelve Larrabee and still walk away $2.8 billion richer. Granted, they probably didn't pay down on all the R&D for Larrabee in '09, but they also failed to capitalize on the effort entirely, and that was the year when it was supposed to launch.
 
At this point there is pretty much 0 chance that AMD could ever really fight Intel again. Really the socket a/socket 939 days were where AMD should have made a lot of progress in terms of market share but we all know why things turned out this way. I don't think anyone will ever get another chance to gain on Intel like that for a long LONG time and unless fusion somehow becomes all the rage AMD will have to fall behind more and more to the point where there would be no competition in the x86 cpu market.

Intel was smart to settle because the one thing I could have seen regulators force on them is to split off their manufacturing so their competitors could at least have a chance to compete. Now it looks like they are just going to keep a zombie AMD around just enough so that they can keep their fat margins and federal regulators away.

Perhaps not in sheer size, but AMD can Gain Marketshare against Intel where their Products compete Head to Head. They've done it before, despite the David v Goliath differences.

Lol no wonder no one bought AMD back then, that commercial was horrible lol.

I did about 3 months ago . The strange thing is I rarely watch TV.

As for intels performance this qt . No surprize . Server chip sales have been outstanding along with laptops. Last qt, AMD had 9% of server sales lok for that number to drop even further.
 
I wonder how much of that was enforcing their monopoly on chipset IP.

They pushed Nvidia, AMD, and VIA out of ION, P55, X58...

It also seems that they've purchased Hydra and ran it into the ground after a short release stint.
