Posted on Friday, January 12 2007 @ 16:26 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

AMD today announced its revenue and profits for the fourth quarter of 2006 will be lower than expected.

The processor firm says their revenue will be lower than expected because the average price of CPUs has dropped.

Analysts expect AMD will announce a revenue growth of 3% compared to Q3 2006, in which AMD had a revenue of $1.33 billion. Note: these numbers are without the revenue of ATI, which was recently acquired by AMD.

AMD's Q4 2006 financial results will be published on January 23, 2007. In the hours after this announcement, AMD's stock dropped more than 11%. At the moment of writing AMD's stock has dropped 11.69% from $20.18 to $17.82.

Only -9.5% at the moment but still a pretty big loss for AMD. They need some more innotvation to beat Intel again but I think that could take a few more years. Intel's current lineup and the future models look pretty solid compared to what AMD has to offer.
