FINANCIAL ANALYSTS queued up to listen to Robert Rivet and Hector Ruiz, beancounter and boss respectively, chat about their Q3 earnings the firm reported last night. Ruiz said that AMD improved gross margin and grew its top line 30% over the same period a year ago. He said Credit Suisse, Merrill Launch, Microsoft, Qualcomm and many others have now dabbled their toes in the AMD64 business.
He calls AMD the "new AMD" repeatedly, which while it may be "customer centric" appears to have as the major element of its newness an ability to make money. He said that the firm's processor business grew by 21% over the second quarter, and he said, he believed the firm grew share in that period. AMD had started shipping 90 nanometre processors during the period and said 50% of wafer starts will use that process technology by the end of 2004.

At present the new venture is being called "Exclaim," but this is apparently only a temporary name and is likely to be replaced before the firm starts trading. Cousens is joined in the new venture by Europlay Capital Advisers, the Los Angeles based firm which is headed by industry veterans Sean Brennan and Mark Dyne and has advised on a number of major industry deals in recent years.
It's expected that along with the Cheltenham and Manchester studios - accounting for some 160 employees - "Exclaim" will also take possession of several of Acclaim's products in development, including Interview with a Made Man and Heist.
