Although we don’t usually share such reports, we thought it would be interesting to share AMD’s Q4 2014 results as the red team is currently working on its latest high-end GPU (that according to a number of rumors it will be beast).
AMD president and CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, announced today the company’s Q4 results and as we can see, AMD’s revenue has dropped considerably over the past few months. While the red team earned $1.59 billion during last year’s Q4, in 2014 it earned $1.24 billion.
In short, we’re talking about a 22% revenue drop; a drop that may – or may not – have an impact on AMD’s future.
As we’ve already said, AMD is currently working on its latest desktop GPU that will most likely see the light of day in Q2 2015.
Kudos to AnandTech for reporting the news, and be sure to visit it for a more details about AMD’s financial results.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

gg AMD. Keep on focus on Consoles and you dig your own grave.

Dont worry i am pretty sure amd cpus will go up in sales due to what intel did lately
What did Intel do?
spent 300 million on con artists like femmnists frequency. Everyone is selling their stocks.
To be expected. Do you think amd will release the new GPU (supposedely 390) with a high price tag to recuperate losses OR their next GPU will cost less to sell more and gain more profit?
going cheap to sell more is obviously not working for them, the consoles are proving that.
+1
nVidia were right as allways, they dident want to put their chip in a crappy console as the F*CKS at Sony/MS dont want to pay, so they got what they pay for = CRAP!
AMD are soon gone!
There is much more in financial results that that. You really have to check numbers, there is quite few dept. that make good money.
Not good. We need competition to advance the technology and have competitive prices. Using nvidia, but rooting for AMD
Tbh, what I really want it’s a third or even a fourth competitor.
I’m kinda of tired of “go green or go red” or “go blue (intel) or go red”.
Quite impossible today, but one can dream right? ¯_(?)_/¯
can’t compete with nvidia
Nope they havent a chance. They are on the brink of extinction!
Even they have their weak crap chip in the consoles wont save them!
AMD are soon gone!
AMD bankrupt is not a good thing
Get ready to pay more for less from Intel and Nvidia
Then get ready to buy more titans or should I say get ready to get milked more often.
I read somewhere that Samsung wants to buy AMD. I wish this is true. We need competition for Nvidia or they will have monopoly
They don’t want to buy them, but people feel they would be a really good fit, which is a bit difficult to disagree with.
Well come on, no new CPUs, just low power 8350 versions, no nice chipsets, no chipsets with DDR4 support, no extreme CPUs like Intel’s X99, not real new products at CES 2015, I mean it’s all mainly new APUs and console hardware. AMD late with their new GPUs after NVIDIA’s Maxwell so NVIDIA can respond with a Ti Maxwell so they have AMD covered.
The new stacked memory on their new cards looks interesting but the power usage looks poor. AMD have some serious convincing to do.
Developing x86 CPU is incredibly hard task for any company and it will take for years. Bulldozer came when there were no software ready for such architecture as IPC was and still is (not for long at least for games) main perf. indicator.
AMD is company with hundreds time less free assets compare to intel (intel helps that a lot by their unfair business practices in last decade). Fact intel does not much better CPU and there is still some form of competition in performance in manistream is miracle itself, though there will not be competition in high end until new ZEN comes up next year and even then for AMD it will not be most interesting market anyway.
AMD and intel are not competitors anyway.
I miss ATI (insert a very sad face here)
The old 4870 shaking all nvidia ground. 5000 series… good days
Both cards was developed at AMD as ATI was purchased few years back, They change the logo later though.
ATI is AMD anyway as they took most people and all their technologies so there is nothing to miss. Or youd have to be bit more specific.
Ok, it just needs that a company announces a profit retraction to some people start rising flags saying it’s bankrupted. Maybe it is, maybe not. But hard times forces to adapt and i hope they were just preparing their way.
I like AMD. I don’t like their ATI branch, but it’s ok, since it prevents the monopoly of GPUs market. Not sure if that Keller’s return can work miracles on future CPUs, but i have some expectation on a new steamroller or excavator coming soon (or not too late LOL).
