NOTE 12: Segment Reporting
Management, including the Chief Operating Decision Maker, 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), net and income taxes. These performance measures include the
allocation of expenses to the operating segments based on management’s judgment.
The Company uses the following two reportable operating segments:
• the Computing Solutions segment, which includes microprocessors, as standalone devices or as
incorporated as an APU, chipsets and embedded processors; and
• the Graphics segment, which includes graphics, video and multimedia products developed for use in
desktop and notebook computers, including home media PCs, professional workstations and servers as
well as revenue received in connection with the development and sale of game console systems that
incorporate the Company’s graphics technology.
In addition to these reportable segments, the Company has an All Other category, which is not a reportable
segment. This category includes certain expenses and credits that are not allocated to any of the operating
segments because management does not consider these expenses and credits in evaluating the performance of the
operating segments. Also included in this category are amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based
compensation expense, restructuring charges and a charge related to the limited waiver of exclusivity from GF.
