The real star during AMD’s third quarter, however, was the Turion 64 processor. AMD saw saw demand for the mobile processor grow 50 percent along with increased average selling prices. Opterons were also strong performers.
AMD has been on a roll over the past few months and don’t seem to be slowing down. Despite their Turion being slower than Intels latest offerings, they still sold quite well. Add to that fact, AMDs margins have gone down! No doubt this holiday season will boost that back up though.
