The report
Citigroup analyst noted that though the company’s earnings per share and revenue guidance topped analyst estimates, it is not likely that investors will be impressed with the results as the company’s new move into the gaming field was expected to bring in more healthy results.
The company’s graphics revenues rose by 110% q-on-q, and touched a record 45% of sales proportion. But there was an estimated drop of 7.6% in PC revenues and the company lost 80bps of Personal Computer-related market-share while Intel’s share rose.
