AMD 2016 Financial info released. AMD computing and graphics revenue down from Q1 2016

[AlTech]

AMD has released their 2016 financial information and so far their revenue has increased.

 

Except there's 1 small problem. They're not doing too hot in the consumer graphics card sector.

AMD’s Computing and Graphics segment just had an important quarter with the launch of their first FinFet GPU design in the AMD Radeon RX 480. They’ve also been releasing several Carrizo based APUs and CPUs, as well as announcing Bristol Ridge, and all the while working on Zen. The Computing and Graphics segment had revenues of $435 million for the quarter, which is up 15% from Q2 2015. Notebook processor and GPU sales have been tagged as the reason for the revenue increase. The segment had an operating loss of $81 million, which is better than the $147 million operating loss a year ago, but still a bit way from profitability. Lowered expenses have helped them here quite a bit, but they still have some work to do. AMD’s average selling price of their notebook APUs decreased compared to Q2 2015, and GPU average selling price also declined.

No, that is operating income not revenue. They are different.

[Electronics Wizardy]

Yeah.. Amd has been doing badly lately.

Both are worse than Q1 2016 in case you didn't notice.

Yea they are down but its not like they are losing money or anything sooo they probably just ordered a load of RX 480s and havnt sold then all yet or something like that.

If Zen doesn't pull through then AMD are toast.

 

Microsoft needs to buy them!

Now this I agree with (at least for their CPU division).

well,at least they finally make money by now. In past 3 years they are keeping lose money

That was before the Rx 480 was release so it's kind of normal.

But Microsoft has loads of money and they could use AMD stuff in HoloLens Release version .

I don't think too much will change since most people on the forum are thinking of buying a 1060 instead of a RX 480

not really. I am highly debate for choose one of them

I think it will, because it is sold out everywhere so that means that people are buying

Or there is no stock available to sell to begin with. 

[Cela1]

If anything, look at there current stock values... they're pretty good   They aren't bad (x2 what they were in 2015).

Seeing how MS has 0 experience with CPU and GPU development on the hardware side, that would be thrown away money. There are many more suited companies AMD buyout, if it ever comes to that.

Yeah well money is not always the solution, WP is the best proof of that. And they could use AMD stuff with a tiny little thing called contract.

That would be a bad idea. Microsoft turns things cancerous. Only thing I like about Microsoft is DirectX 12.

Even DX12 is cancer, Windows 10 exclusive, should always go for open platform.

Countries outside of North America (which are plenty) have the GTX 1060 to be $100 more expensive than the RX 480. Then you also have to factor in the buzz lately surrounding Doom Vulkan patch which people are beginning to doubt the GTX 1060, I know people here in Australia who were set to buy a GTX 1060 now changed their mind when they saw the price and DX12/Vulkan benchmarks. Then JayzTwoCent said in his recent livestream that it may be more beneficial to have that extra VRAM, as we saw in recent games filling more than 5GB of VRAM: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2476184

I can see it now all so clearly. 

"You may have bought the GPU, but you don't own said GPU.  You only have a license to use the GPU...Unless you want to return it.  Then It's your baby.  But fear not, we've heard our customers and are listening.  Next year we're offering a subscription based GPU service(that you'll be forced into).  You'll get all the latest driver updates free when subscribed"   ~  MS bean counter

their revenues on fire, just like their GPU's

That's q2, their big releases are in q3 and q4, so that doesn't say much about their well being

That depends on the VRAM though, I understood that having 4GB of HBM like on the Fury series is okay in games needing more than 4GB of VRAM such as GTA V, or Mirror's edge catalyst, but that if you have gddr5, you better have a lot of VRAM to compensate from the disadvantages of gddr5 against hbm

Wait unless I'm wrong.. aren't these financial stats quite good for AMD.. they're making a profit (based on those GAAP net income figures). Seems like they're doing much better than they have been the past few years

$499 vs $699 in NZ, even less reason for the 1060 over the 480 here. The only 1060 I would consider is the EVGA one. Although I wouldn't consider purchasing any of the RX 480's.
