jjayxxxx The reason that the diluted eps is the same is because AMD doesn't have to count all those shares until profits excede a higher amount in terms of EPS. Somone pointed this out on the board last week. So .12 should be the number used, or maybe .09 if you factor out the favorable charge.
Some Points to Consider: 1) using the diluted shares, I get $0.10 EPS, not $0.12 like their press release says.
2) the results reported by AMD "include a favorable impact of $14 million, or $0.03 per share, due to an adjustment to previously recorded restructuring charges". Since this was not guided and is significant (as defined on the rules page), we will exlude it from our contest results, just as we did with Intel. So the EPS for the contest is ($43193-$14000)/416190 = $0.07.
3) I have gone ahead and posted things, but have not yet done a thorough review for errors, so keep in mind that this is still preliminary until tomorrow's closing price.

An anylist asked the question you pose after you posted same. Dont ask me to explain, the anylist did the math wrong. If you read the transcript it should explain it. The cc is still going on as i post.
