That is the biggest quarterly loss AMD has ever made, however. Revenue for its Q2 was $595,109,000. Compared to the same quarter last year, sales rose by 13 per cent and last year's loss was $64,560,000. AMD's sale of subsidiary Vantis to Lattice helped bouy the figures.

Although AMD has other, profitable, business lines, these have been put in the shade by Sanders emphasis on its loss making X86 chip business. Some have suggested that for Sanders, the fight against Intel is personal.
