“This was another record-breaking quarter for AMD’s microprocessor business,” said Robert J. Rivet, AMD’s chief financial officer. “Exceptional customer demand for our server, mobile and desktop processors helped drive microprocessor sales growth of 44 percent compared to the third quarter of 2004 and 26 percent compared to the second quarter of 2005. We established new quarterly records in unit and dollar sales, gross margin and operating income.”

“Memory Products Group sales decreased 4 percent from the third quarter of 2004 but increased by 12 percent compared to the second quarter of 2005, driven by higher overall unit sales and record MirrorBit™ Flash sales. Increased shipments of high-density MirrorBit Flash solutions to the largest wireless OEM customers and a more balanced supply and demand environment helped stabilize the average selling price during the quarter,” Rivet continued.
