AMD attributed $1.04 of the loss to its recent acquisition of graphics chipmaker ATI, meaning that AMD's EPS excluding the charges were -0.4 cents.
That's well below the average analyst expectation which called for AMD to earn 10 cents a share.
But AMD's outlook for the current quarter was soft, with the company projecting sales between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, vs. analyst expectations of $1.81 billion.
