AMD Posts Profit for Q4 2009 - First in 13 Quarters

I'm a bit late on reporting this, but it still should be reported. After going 13 full quarters, posting a loss with each one, AMD managed to post a long-overdue profit during Q4 2009. That's the good news. The bad news is that it looks like the only reason that happened was thanks to Intel's mammoth $1.224 billion settlement, which it made just a few months ago.

Wow...is it safe to call the Core2Duo the AMD killer?

Haha, at this point in time, it's starting to look like that. But AMD is far from dead. I am hoping for something big to come out of the company soon, though. Its ATI division has been rocking, so I just wish some of that success would rub off onto AMD itself.
