Frequently Asked Questions
What was AMD's revenue performance in the second quarter of 2010?
AMD reported net revenue of $1.65 billion for the second quarter ended June 26, 2010, which represents a significant 40% increase compared to $1.18 billion in the same quarter of the previous year.

How did AMD's profitability change compared to the prior year?
AMD showed a substantial improvement in profitability, reporting an operating income of $125 million for the second quarter of 2010, a significant turnaround from an operating loss of $249 million in the second quarter of 2009.

What is the impact of the GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) deconsolidation on these financial results?

AMD ended the quarter with a strong liquidity position, holding $1.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
