Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions, and so forth.

		<description><![CDATA[In a bold move to boost its position in next-generation servers, chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) announced that it will acquire microserver start-up SeaMicro for $334 million, of which approximately $281 million will be paid in cash. This would mark Advanced Micro’s first major acquisition under its new CEO Rory Read. The company expects the deal to increase its appealing to data center operators. SeaMicro, based in Sunnyvale, California, makes energy-efficient servers that are used in data centers for cloud computing. It uses Intel (INTC) chips in its next-generation servers, which offer dramatic reductions in power and space usage. Recent industry reports suggest that out of the total energy supply in 2011, more than 2.5% was being used by data centers. Hence, efficiency remains a major concern for IT ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) is scheduled to announce its fourth quarter 2012 results on February 15, 2011, after the market closes. We see some movement in the analysts’ estimates at this point. Third Quarter Overview NVIDIA reported decent third quarter 2012 adjusted earnings of 31 cents per share, significantly ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 26 cents. The company witnessed revenue growth across all its segments, with GPU business inching up 1.0% from the prior quarter. The gain was posted despite a $47.3 million decline in the chipset business, which the company intends to dispense with going forward. Professional business delivered revenues of $230.3 million, up 9.5% sequentially riding on the growth in Quadro professional graphics products. The Consumer business increased 14% sequentially.

Tech-giant Intel also contributed to weak investor confidence after the company projected revenues lower than its earlier projections. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 1.3% to close the day at 12,021.39. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) slumped 1.5% to finish the day’s trading at 1,236.47. The Nasdaq Composite Index settled substantively lower at 2,612.26, declining by 1.3%. However, the fear-gauge Volatility Index (VIX) showed that investor concerns had receded somewhat, dropping 2.7% to settle at 25.67. Decliners outpaced advancing stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For 77% of the decliners, merely 20% stocks managed to climb higher with ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tech major Dell Inc. (DELL) is looking to grow its share of the server market, something that could hurt Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) in the longer term. Dell missed its chance of becoming the leading PC shipment vendor after H-P’s PC segment spin-off was called off by current CEO Meg Whitman. The two companies saw their fortunes reverse in the last quarter, as Dell’s server business did much better than H-P’s. H-P has seen a few hurdles in the last few quarters. Even the recently concluded fourth quarter was lackluster. And now, we see H-P encountering another threat from its nearest competitor Dell. Both companies have excelled in developing servers that bring the graphics processing unit (GPU) into the data center or high-performance computers (HPC). However, while H-P has mostly concentrated ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) plans to eliminate 10% of its workforce or about 1,400 jobs in order to reduce operational costs. This layoff is an attempt by AMD to optimize its cost structure and thereby improve its competitiveness. The workforce reduction is expected to be over by the first quarter of 2012 and will be conducted globally across all its divisions. Along with other unspecified operational changes, the layoffs are expected to save $200 million in 2012. Management is looking to reinvest some of the savings into newer business areas, including chips for devices such as tablet-style computers in emerging markets and Internet-related opportunities (mainly cloud computing).

Revenue AMD’s revenues in the last quarter came in at $1.69 billion, up 7.4% and 4.4% from the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively. While supply constraints prevented the company from meeting its guidance of a 10% sequential increase (at the mid-point), revenues came in higher than consensus expectations of $1.65 billion. AMD clearly benefited from strength in its new products (Brazos and Llano).

		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions, and so forth. The past decade has seen big changes in the industry, with most players streamlining operations and transferring more routine production to low-cost ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wall Street’s volatile run continued on Thursday as encouraging economic data eroded fears of a possible recession at least for the moment, and the markets moved upwards. The Dow created history with its largest one-day percentage moves over the past four sessions, as it went up 423 points just a day after it was down more than 500 points. While a positive jobs report gave an additional boost to sentiment, Cisco also joined the party with its robust quarterly results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) soared 3.9% to close the day at 11,143.31. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) jumped 4.6% to close at 1,172.64 and the Nasdaq Composite Index shot up 4.7% to finish the day at 2,492.68. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index sank 9.3%.

The day was also marked by disappointing corporate results, and the fear-gauge index posted its biggest percentage jump in two weeks, reflecting heightened investor anxiety. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 145 points in intra-day trade before recouping losses partially and finally settled at 12,592.80, dropping 88 points or 0.7%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed 0.6% to close the day at 1,337.43. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.6% and signed off at 2,842.80.

The week also closed with gains as earnings provided enough cushion for the benchmarks to settle in the green. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was the only benchmark to end in the red as it dropped 0.3% to finish the day at 12,681.16. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 1.2% to end the day at 1,345.02. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,858.83, after gaining 0.9%.

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 7/15/11 Second quarter earnings season is now under way, but things really start to move into high gear next week. There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ). That is an interesting cross section of U.S. business. We have a relatively light economic data calendar, so earnings should be front and center, along with the sovereign debt situations on both ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Roche Holdings Ltd. (RHHBY) recently reported positive data from two late-stage studies (RISE and RIDE) on its eye drug, Lucentis. The studies were conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug in patients suffering from diabetic macular edema (DME). DME leads to swelling of the retina in patients with type I or type II diabetes. The disease can cause blurred vision, severe vision loss and at times blindness. Data from the trials demonstrated that the patients, after 24 months of treatment with Lucentis, experienced significant, rapid and sustained improvement in vision compared to those who were given placebo. Roche also confirmed that patients experienced an improvement in vision within seven days of starting treatment with Lucentis. The company added that patients on Lucentis also experienced decreased retinal swelling. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets ended their four-day winning streak, tumbling in the late session, as the Federal Reserve slashed its growth forecast and provided no indications of further economic stimulus. All the benchmarks dropped by around 0.7% during a thin trading session, and investors were mostly spurred to sell their shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed at 12,109.67, after dropping 0.7%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined 0.7% to settle at 1,287.17. The Nasdaq Composite Index also shed 0.7% to close at 2,669.19. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped modestly to hover below 19. On the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 6.2 billion shares, lower than the daily average of 7.58 billion. On the NYSE, for every 17 stocks that declined, only 12 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weak economic data failed to drag markets lower as investor sentiment was lifted by the technology and retail sectors.  With initial claims surged and the economy expanding at just 1.8%, the employment situation remains a major area of concern amidst a sluggish economy. These concerns had dented the markets in the opening session, but strong performance from the consumer discretionary index and technology sector and modest support from the energy sector helped the indices rebound. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 76 points in the opening session but recouped its losses in the later trading session to close at 12,402.76, up 0.1%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) climbed up 0.4% to finish at 1,325.69. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,782.92, after gaining 0.8%. Volumes continued to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Thursday, May 12, 2011 Last week, Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) said it made the biggest breakthrough in microprocessor design in recent history. It called its new chip the most significant advance since the 1950?s silicon transistor. The company expects to begin production later this year, using a revolutionary 3D technology it has worked on for nearly a decade. With these strides, Intel claims to be three years ahead of the competition. Regardless, the move is a significant one. Microchip transistors, the building blocks of electronics, are always produced in flat structures. But Intel’s breakthrough involves more complex, 3D models with circuit widths of 22 nanometers. Most industry insiders see this push as Intel’s attempt to fend off a major challenge from U.K. chip designer Arm ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) reported first quarter earnings of 7 cents a share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 5 cents.The shares are likely to remain buoyant, as results did not disapppoint. Results were, however, not as exceptional as rival Intel Corp’s (INTC), as AMD remains a step behind with its product introductions. However, there were some bright spots, such as its growing involvement with Apple Inc (AAPL). AMD is now operating as a product company, reporting the foundry business under the cost method, given that its share in Globalfoundries has shrunk to 14%. Revenue AMD’s revenues in the last quarter came in at $1.61 billion, 2.5% over the year-ago level, but down 2.2% sequentially on account of seasonality.  This may be considered to be in line with AMD’s expectations ]]></description>

Revenue Revenue of $16.43 billion was down 17.7% sequentially and up 13.3% from last year.

Microsoft made progress in online business division and saw particular strength in its Office, server, Xbox and Kinect product lines. Management estimates that the PC market (units) was down 1-3% year over year, compared to the 2-4% growth witnessed in the December quarter. Enterprise remained strong, while consumer disappointed.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets on Monday slipped marginally amidst tight volumes as inflationary worries crept in, suggesting lower profits in the quarters ahead. However, positive economic data limited the losses and investors now await the first of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s four annual press conferences on Wednesday, which will decide the fate of the bond-purchase program. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed 0.21% and 0.16% to close at 12,479.88 and 1,335.25, respectively. Nonetheless, the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.20% and finished the day at 2,825.88. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was up 7.4% and decliners outnumbered the advancers on the New York Stock Exchange. Easter Monday kept the shutters down on many markets and that led to significantly lower volumes. Consolidated volumes ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions, and so forth. The past decade has seen big changes in the industry, with most players streamlining operations and transferring more routine production to low-cost ]]></description>

The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 0.1% while the Nasdaq lost 0.1% to close at 1,332.87 and 2,789.19, respectively.

		<description><![CDATA[Optimistic comments from the Federal Reserve on Tuesday helped instill some confidence in the economy and limited the markets from ending at session lows. Benchmarks inched down by a point as Japan’s nuclear crisis started taking its toll, raising concerns of a dip in the global economy. However, experts’ opinion of the Japan crisis being only a short-term drag for the US markets reduced investors’ anxiety to a certain extent. Separately, a state of emergency was declared in Bahrain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) survived a 300 point plunge shortly after the market opened to end at 11.855.42, dropping 1.2% or 137 points. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed at 1,281.87 recovering from a 2.7% fall after the market opened and finally managed to shed 1.1%. The ]]></description>

To add to the woes of investors, the semiconductor index was downgraded which eventually led to technology stocks sliding lower.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, markets returned to their winning ways after three consecutive days of losses. Moderately positive domestic economic data and a small decline in crude prices brought cheer to investors after a week of falling indices. This was the worst performing week for the year, marked by unrest in the Middle East and surging crude prices which negatively impacted the markets. For the week, the Dow shed 2.1%, the S&#38;P 500 fell 1.7% and Nasdaq was down 1.9%. This was also the worst weekly performance by stocks since November last year. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) slipped 9.9% to 19.22 suggesting the improved sentiment on Friday and the consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange was 3.8 billion shares.

		<description><![CDATA[Crude prices eased off their high by a couple of dollars as rumors circulated that Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi had been shot. US officials denied such reports and the markets showed a marginal improvement after closing mixed on Thursday. Though benchmarks Dow and S&#38;P500 continued to remain in the red, the Nasdaq gained marginal momentum relying on the upward movement of tech stocks. Tension in Libya continued, providing no respite to the economic world. Meanwhile fresh US economic data came in, showing both positive and negative trends. The markets closed mixed as the tech-laden Nasdaq moved up while the Dow and S&#38;P500 still waited to end in the green. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 0.3% to close at 12, 068.50 and the S&#38;P 500 declined 0.1% to end ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Corporation’s (MSFT) second quarter 2011 results were impacted by the slowdown in the PC market. However, this did not prevent it from beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both the top and bottom lines. Revenue and EPS beat by 4.4% and 9 cents (13.2%), respectively. Revenue Revenue of $19.95 billion was up 23.2% sequentially and 4.9% from last year. Windows 7, Office 2010 and Kinect were particularly strong. Management estimates that the PC market (units) was up 2-4% year over year, a significantly slower rate than the 9-11% growth witnessed in the September quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions, and so forth. The past decade has seen big changes in the industry, with most players streamlining operations and transferring more routine production to low-cost ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) is scheduled to announce its third quarter 2011 results on November 12, 2010, and the two way revisions in estimates reflects mixed sentiment on the stock. Second Quarter Overview NVIDIA reported second quarter 2011 numbers, with earnings per share of 3 cents down from the year-ago quarter, although below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 11 cents. NVIDIA delivered revenues of $811.2 million, down 19.0% from the previous quarter but up 4.5% from the year-ago quarter. While the Quadro professional graphics, Tesla GPU computing, and Tegra system-on-a-chip product lines did well, the GeForce consumer business disappointed, as a result of weak PC demand in Europe and China. Gross margin on a GAAP basis was 16.6%, down from 45.6% in the previous quarter and 20.2% in the year-earlier quarter. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the handsome earnings posted by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in its fiscal third quarter, analysts appear to be more favorably disposed toward the company. Last Quarter Highlights The earnings surprise in the last quarter came on the back of gross margin improvement and good expense control, despite falling revenues. Particularly, AMD saw softness in the consumer market—similar to archrival Intel Corporation (INTC)—and it is likely that AMD also lost some graphics market share to NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA). On the positive side, enterprise did better than expected, with microprocessors for both desktop and notebook clients growing and new customers, such as International Business Machines (IBM), joining in. During the quarter, AMD used $124 million of cash in operations, spent $31 million on capex and repaid $818 million of debt. Debt ]]></description>

Shares moved up 4.5% in after-hours trading, but have been moving down since the market opened this morning, since guidance was not encouraging. Similar to Intel Corp. (INTC), AMD also saw softness in the consumer market, although the enterprise side fared better. Management stated that processors for client PCs (both desktop and notebook) increased during the quarter. On the server side, AMD continued to add customers, such as International Business Machines (IBM). Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, AMD started reporting the foundry business under the equity method. Revenue Revenue of $1.62 billion was down 2.1% sequentially and up 34.3% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Expectations that the policy makers will act to keep the economy afloat helped investors brush aside some gloomy economic posts and send the Dow average above 11,000 for the first time since May 3. Even as unemployment rate remained at a grueling 9.6%, the latest jobs report said the economy lost a surprisingly high 95,000 jobs in September – fueling hopes the Federal Reserve will pump in more money into the economy to resurrect the unstable economic growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 11006.48, up 57.90 points, or 0.5%. The blue-chip index is up 5.6% year-to-date. On Friday, the broader S&#38;P 500 index gained nearly 8 points, or 0.6%, 1165.15. The Nasdaq Composite index gained 18 points, or 0.8%, to 2401.91.

		<description><![CDATA[Texas Instruments (TXN) tightened its third-quarter revenue and earnings outlook range but kept the mid-point of that range unchanged, as demand for personal computers and televisions show signs of weakness in a sluggish economy. Although the semiconductor company said the quarter was tracking consistently with its initial expectations, the narrowed outlook was reflective of broader economic issues that plague the semiconductor industry. Intel Corp. (INTC), the industry leader, had warned in late August that a slowdown in demand for consumer PCs in mature markets would eat into its third-quarter sales. The warning had sent a wave of concern through the PC industry as it came barely a month after July’s robust numbers from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel itself. Intel, the world’s largest chipmaker, had termed its second-quarter performance ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) recently displayed its third-generation dual-core processors developed by its state-of-the-art Snapdragon platform technology. While the 1.5 GHz processor will be used in smartbook or netbook, the 1.2 GHz processor will be used in smartphones. The 1.5 GHz processor will be commercially available at the end of 2011 but the 1.2 GHz processor will be launched in the first quarter of 2011. Qualcomm is the largest developer of digital mobile chipsets based on the CDMA wireless technology. This diversification into the computer market will be a logical step forward for the company. The chipset market for computers is primarily dominated by Intel Inc. (INTC), and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD). Smartbook is a personal digital assistant (PDA) that functions like a mobile phone but resembles a small notebook ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Intel Corp. (INTC) announced yesterday that it would be acquiring McAfee Inc. (MFE), one of the largest makers of security software for $7.68 billion ($6.8 billion net of cash acquired) in an all-cash transaction. The purchase price of $48 a share represents a 60% premium to McAfee&#8217;s closing price on Wednesday (after which the deal was announced). Shares surged 57% yesterday, dropping off .06% after hours. This is overall a very good deal for existing McAfee shareholders, so they are expected to approve. Of course, regulatory approval will also be required, which may not be a problem, considering the fact that security software is not a market in which Intel competes. Intel also announced that it would be retaining key management personnel and running McAfee as a separate unit, similar ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Overview The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. For example, the PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions and so forth.

		<description><![CDATA[The recent disclosure made by Dell Inc. (DELL) confirms that the tech major will be paying penalties to the tune of $100.0 million in settlement of the charges for its accounting fraud related to disclosures filed by the Securities Exchange and Commission (SEC). Previously, the market watchdog, SEC accused Dell of providing misleading information to the company’s investors after receiving money from the largest chip manufacturer Intel Corp. (INTC). This has in turn helped Dell to boost its quarterly earnings statement, which helped the tech major deliver inflated numbers, thus exceeding market expectations.
