AMD Not Expected To Top Intel Earnings

by Darren

AMD is a distant second in the cpu business and their newest earnings report is expected to show that.

Even though market leader Intel announced better than expected numbers for the quarter, the industry is still in the midst of a slump. AMD is expected to announce earnings Tuesday after market close

ANALYST TAKE: Intel’s better-than-expected numbers won’t necessarily translate into strong results for AMD, warned Martin Reynolds, a vice president and research fellow at Gartner Inc.

“The challenge is, it’s hard to tell how much of that is the market or possibly Intel gaining some share,” Reynolds said. “I don’t know that we would see a disaster from AMD, which is what you’d expect to see if they didn’t have these new products out there … Don’t expect anything spectacular from AMD, in either direction.”

AMD has lost billions of dollars in the last two years.
