POSTER: computer news   ||   SONY REDUCED ANNUAL REVENUE AND PROFIT, BUT A YEAR LATER PROMISES TO RECOUP	DATE:2017-04-30
On Friday, Sony published a financial report on its work for the 2016 financial year (completed March 31, 2017).  Over the reporting period, with few exceptions, the company's financial indicators fell by one or another amount.  Revenue growth and profit showed only one unit - Game & Network Services.  But in 2017, the company promises to drastically increase operating profit, which should be a record figure for the past 20 years.  So, in 1998, on the wave of good electronics sales and the success of the console game "Men in Black", Sony's operating profit reached 526 billion yen.  In March 2018, the company promises to show operating profit of 500 billion yen.  For the entire 2016, for comparison, the company showed operating profit of 288.7 billion yen (approximately $ 2.57 billion).  In other words, during the new financial year the company promises to increase operating profit by 73%. In general, the growth in operating profit promises to happen due to the growing demand for Sony image sensors for smartphones.  In addition, in the spring of the last year, another earthquake in Japan partially damaged Sony's semiconductor factories, which required restoration and reduced production volumes.  Restored production and high demand will create a growth point for the company.  In general, over the past year, the company raised 7.6 trillion yen ($ 67.9 billion), which is 6.2% less than the previous year.  Operating arrived for the year decreased by 1.9%.  The company's net profit for the period fell by 50.4% to 73.3 billion yen ($ 654 million). The revenues of the Mobile Communications division are Sony smartphones - for the year it decreased by 32.7% to $ 6.78 billion. Among the merits of the company in this direction - last year's operating losses were replaced by a net profit of $ 91 million. The Game & Network Services division in pluses as By revenue (6.3%, $ 14.73 billion for the year), and operating profit (+ 52.9%, $ 1.21 billion for the year).  The division of Imaging Products & Solutions (video and cameras, lenses, and others) cut sales by 15.3% to $ 5.175 billion. The company's operating profit fell by 31.8% to $ 422 million. The division of Entertainment & Sound reduced revenues by 10.4%, which amounted to $ 9.27 billion. The operating profit, however, increased by 15.7% to $ 522 million. The Semiconductors division increased its revenue by 4.6% to $ 6.903 billion But operating profit showed a loss of $ 70 million. Components - batteries, batteries and information carriers - brought the company $ 1.74 billion a year, or 13% less than a year earlier.  Alas, this did not bring profit.  The company showed an annual operating loss of $ 540 million. The Pictures Division also drives the company into operating losses (this time at $ 719 million).  The revenue of the division for the year decreased by 3.7% to $ 8.06 billion. The Music division was in positive territory for operating profit ($ 677 million), but for the year it decreased by 12.4%.  The music division's revenue increased 4.6% year-on-year to $ 5.783 billion. Finally, Sony's net financial performance for the year was 1.3% up or $ 9.71 billion.

POSTER: computer news   ||   AMD ADMITS THE IDEA OF ​​ZEN PROCESSORS GENERATION FAILURE	DATE:2017-04-30
Sunday's storming this document allowed us to find in the risk factors section AMD's reasoning about the possibility of a market failure of processors with the Zen architecture.  The company can not guarantee that the money spent on their development and time will turn out to be an adequate financial return. It should be understood that every company counts its probable weaknesses in the annual report on Form 10-K, and AMD is no exception here.  Both Intel and NVIDIA are also conducting such analysis, warning shareholders and investors that in some direction something can go wrong.  AMD in this case speaks about the newest processor architecture of Zen, for the success of which it hopes very much, but can not give any guarantees of realizing its plans to the fullest.

POSTER: computer news   ||   LAST YEAR, PART OF AMDS GRAPHICS SOLUTIONS PRODUCED GLOBALFOUNDRIES	DATE:2017-04-30
For several years now, we have been mentioning that GlobalFoundries provides AMD with not only CPUs and "custom" solutions for consoles, but also some graphic products . In 2016 calendar year, AMD continued to receive from GlobalFoundries central processors (including hybrid variants) and some assortment of graphics solutions.  The specificity of the relationship with TSMC in the same document is disclosed in more blurry formulations: it is clear only that AMD receives "certain products" from this contractor. Manufacturers of video cards in this document are also highlighted: AMD itself does not produce graphics cards.  By the way, in other sections of the annual report on the form 10-K, AMD not once mentions that GlobalFoundries will not be the only partner that will supply it with 7-nm products.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48536 Rating: 10.0/10 (15 votes cast) Last year, part of AMDs graphics solutions produced GlobalFoundries	Add Comment ( 1 ) LAST YEAR, PART OF AMDS GRAPHICS SOLUTIONS PRODUCED GLOBALFOUNDRIES

POSTER: computer news   ||    HP INC. IS ONE OF THE TOP THREE AMD CUSTOMERS	DATE:2017-04-30
The annual report on Form 10-K forces companies to talk about the factors that make them vulnerable.  Among them there may be not only uncertainty about the competitiveness of their products, but also links to the unreliability of counterparties, and in the case of AMD - also excessive dependence on several large customers.  It's been known for a long time that at this stage of AMD's development the company strongly depends on Microsoft and Sony, who sell game consoles based on "custom" AMD components  .  In the annual report, the company admitted that last year its aggregate revenue by 59% was formed by three major customers: Microsoft, Sony and HP Inc.  The latter in this list came in as a consumer of the Computing and Graphics segment: CPUs and graphics solutions. Moreover, AMD even bared the statistics on the share of revenue generated by HP Inc.  As can be seen from the table, in 2016 it did not exceed 10%. It is interesting that one of the manufacturers of gaming consoles in the past year almost twice as high as the other by the share of AMD revenue.  There are no specific names for the company, but there are only two options: it's either Microsoft or Sony.
