Computation Products Group sales were $672 million in the third quarter of 2004. This is an increase of 34 percent from $503 million in the third quarter of 2003 and is a 21 percent increase from $554 million in the second quarter of 2004. CPG generated operating income of $89 million in the third quarter, up from $58 million in the second quarter of 2004.
CPG's improved profitability and higher ASP were driven primarily by a significant increase in processor sales across all markets, with AMD64 processor shipments nearly doubling over the previous quarter. The company also successfully launched the AMD Sempron(TM) processor family in the third quarter. This helped drive significant CPG sales growth in China. In addition, AMD Athlon(TM) 64 processors based on 90nm technology began shipping for revenue in the quarter.
Memory Group sales were $538 million in the third quarter, an increase of 27 percent from $424 million in the third quarter of 2003 and a decline of 20 percent from $673 million in the second quarter of 2004. The Memory Group generated operating income of $15 million, down from $45 million in the prior quarter. Third quarter profitability was largely driven by the successful transition to 110nm technology, the smallest node in production by any NOR Flash memory company, as well as increased shipments of Flash memory products based on MirrorBit(TM) technology.
Flash memory sales into the embedded market remained solid. Flash memory sales into the wireless handset market declined significantly, resulting in a lower Flash memory ASP.
