"We are particularly pleased with the continued adoption of AMD solutions in the commercial segment. In particular, AMD Opteron A family of 64-bit CPU chips from AMD, formerly code named Sledgehammer (part of the Hammer line). Introduced in April 2003, the Opteron fully supports 32-bit applications, but requires that programs be optimized and recompiled to take full advantage of the 64 bits.  processor sales grew 26 percent sequentially and we believe we gained server processor market share in the quarter. Sales to our largest global customers grew quarter-over-quarter as we continued to successfully execute our strategy. Sales through the distribution channel were down, primarily because we chose not to participate in certain deeply-discounted opportunities.

"Second quarter manufacturing execution was outstanding, with Fab 36 ramping 300mm capacity aggressively at mature yields. In addition, Chartered Semiconductor is now in production of AMD products."

Second quarter sales were down from the prior quarter primarily due to the challenging pricing environment for high-volume desktop processors which negatively impacted average selling prices The average sales price of goods or commodities.

Record AMD Opteron processor sales were driven by growing demand for single- and multi-socket server and workstation solutions. AMD Opteron processor unit shipments experienced double digit Noun 1. double digit - a two-digit integer; from 10 to 99

Second quarter gross margin was 56.8 percent, compared to 58.5 percent in the first quarter of 2006. The gross margin decrease was largely due to lower desktop processor ASPs. Operating income was $102 million in the second quarter, up from $83 million in the second quarter of 2005 and down from $259 million in the first quarter of 2006. The decline in operating income from the prior quarter was due largely to lower sales and increased operating expenses Operating expenses
