With numbers like these, and not end in sight, I would have to say the outlook is less than Dim.

With numbers like these, and I have not hear of anything that has changed, nor going to change the situation, The numbers will just get worse.

For AMD, this will mean, once again, Record Losses. the 1st Quarter is not going to be any better than the last quarter.

And I don’t care how diligent they are at looking at their “Cash Flow, and Cash Management” they only thing they are going to see is how quickly it “Leave” and none is coming in to replace it!!!…

I do love AMD ( Except their whole “PR” rating thing they invented to make their stuff look better, when it was not).
And I want them to succeed.
I hated Intel for the “underhanded” tings it was doing to keep manufacturers from Selling AMD systems. And I will stand by them for that…

But there is only one way this is all headed…And I can’t think of any way to save it.

Unless jobs can be created, and money put into the hands of people, so they can get back to buying new systems, or for upgrades, Its all Doom and Gloom, I am afraid.

I Liked the idea of “Selling” off the fabs, and making them separate entities… this helps keep some of the Ink from looking as bad….But please, keep in mind, that is a double edged sword…

If those Entities can not prove to be “Profitable” and their plans can not show the reasonable expectation to be profitable… ( and lets face it, you would not be splitting them off, if they did not look like some cancerous sore)…
There could Just be the possibility of them being “Forced” to close down, and then Leave you Fab less, Alright!!!..

So please be careful. I do love you guys. But I don’t know what will help!
