Q: What do you think about Advanced Micro Devices?
A: Well, we expect AMD to do better sequentially in the September quarter, and better again in the December quarter. Clearly, the PC sector is recovering. Particularly for AMD, we expect ASP [average selling price] to rise noticeably. We think its new Athlon 64 and Opteron chips will be big successes. The company is well ahead of Intel (INTC ) in launching 64-bit desktop and mobile chips. Microsoft (MSFT ) has strongly supported AMD's 64-bit efforts, and someday that could translate to marke-share gains for AMD.

There are a few negatives: AMD lost some share previously in the Asian and European markets that it needs to regain. Also, the company's balance sheet isn't as strong, and the breakeven point is high.
