"Although industry visibility is poor, our priorities remain clear and achievable," said Dirk Meyer, AMD's president and CEO. "We remain focused on further reducing our breakeven point through targeted restructuring actions while ensuring we execute our highly-competitive product and technology roadmaps. We made significant progress toward the creation of 'The Foundry Company' in the quarter, and anticipate closing the transaction in February. We expect our ongoing restructuring actions and asset smart strategy, combined with the strength of our innovative product offerings, will leave us well positioned for a global market recovery."

Fourth quarter 2008 gross margin was 23 percent, including a negative impact of 20 percentage points due to a $227 million incremental write down of inventory due to weak market conditions. Third quarter 2008 gross margin was 51 percent, 45 percent excluding process technology license revenue.

AMD just keeps bleeding... once again their results are terrible, even given how good the 4000 series of graphics cards is. Makes you wonder what their balance sheet would look like without the latest Radeons...

Let's hope Bulldozer and Fusion are all they promise to be... and that AMD sticks around long enough to make them happen.
