NOTE 13: Segment Reporting
Management, including the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Company’s chief
executive officer, reviews and assesses operating performance using segment net revenues and operating income
(loss) before interest, other income (expense), equity in net income (loss) of investees and income taxes. These
performance measures include the allocation of expenses to the operating segments based on management’s
judgment.
In the first quarter of 2008, the CODM reviewed and addressed operating performance using the following
three reportable segments:
the Computing Solutions segment, which included microprocessors, chipsets and embedded processors
and related revenue;
the Graphics segment, which included graphics, video and multimedia products and related revenue; and
the Consumer Electronics segment, which included products used in handheld devices, digital
televisions and other consumer electronics as well as revenue from royalties received in connection with
sales of game console systems that incorporate the Company’s graphics technology.
