Today we are reporting both GAAP and non-GAAP P&Ls for our Q4 and fiscal year '07. As Jen-Hsun said, revenue for the fourth quarter was $879 million, which is up 7.1% or $58 million from the third quarter. Revenue for the fiscal year was $3.07 billion, which is up 29% year-over-year.
今天,我們報告了第四季度和 07 財年的 GAAP 和非 GAAP 損益。正如仁勳所說,第四季度的收入為 8.79 億美元,比第三季度增長 7.1% 或 5800 萬美元。本財年收入為 30.7 億美元,同比增長 29%。
In the fourth quarter growth was led by MCP products, which increased by 16% quarter to quarter. And as Jen-Hsun said, was a record for the tenth consecutive quarter. Total MCP revenue grew 88% for the whole fiscal year.
第四季度增長由 MCP 產品引領,環比增長 16%。正如仁勳所說,這是連續第十個季度創下的紀錄。整個財年的 MCP 總收入增長了 88%。
Professional solutions products grew by 14% sequentially, and also set a record for revenue. In the desktop GPU business, the GeForce 8800 products grew by more than $50 million, but were offset by weakness in some of the GeForce 7 products, particularly in the channel.
專業解決方案產品環比增長 14%,收入也創下紀錄。在桌面 GPU 業務中,GeForce 8800 產品增長超過 5000 萬美元,但被部分 GeForce 7 產品的疲軟所抵消,特別是在渠道方面。
Memory grew by $10 million quarter to quarter. Our Consumer Electronics revenue increased 40% sequentially, driven by significantly higher contributions of royalty payments, which more than offset a decline in NRE. ASPs were slightly down in desktop GPUs, and relatively flat everywhere else.
內存每季度增長了 1000 萬美元。我們的消費電子產品收入環比增長 40%,這主要得益於特許權使用費的貢獻顯著增加,抵消了 NRE 的下降。桌面 GPU 的 ASP 略有下降,其他地方則相對持平。
We closed the purchase of PortalPlayer on January 5, but the revenue contribution from Portal was not significant, approximately $1 million.
我們於 1 月 5 日完成了對 PortalPlayer 的收購,但 Portal 的收入貢獻並不顯著,約為 100 萬美元。
For gross margin in the quarter we reported non-GAAP gross margin of 44.2% and GAAP gross margin of 43.9%. Our 45% target is getting close.
對於本季度的毛利率,我們報告的非 GAAP 毛利率為 44.2%,GAAP 毛利率為 43.9%。我們 45% 的目標正在接近。
GPUs, MCPs and handheld business units all improved gross margin quarter to quarter. As a Company we continue to work hard on improvement.
GPU、MCP 和手持業務部門的毛利率均按季度提高。作為一家公司,我們將繼續努力改進。
Operating expenses for the quarter were $247 million on a GAAP basis, and $203 million on a non-GAAP. The non-GAAP eliminated stock-based compensation of $34 million before tax effect, and it eliminated $13.4 million of in-process R&D associated with the PortalPlayer acquisition. The $203 million included one month of PortalPlayer expenses, which totaled approximately $5 million. And it also included legal and accounting fees associated with the restatement of approximately $4 million. The restatement which was filed in December.
按公認會計原則計算,本季度的運營費用為 2.47 億美元,按非公認會計原則計算為 2.03 億美元。非公認會計原則消除了稅前 3400 萬美元的股票補償,並消除了與收購 PortalPlayer 相關的 1340 萬美元的正在進行的研發。 2.03 億美元包括 PortalPlayer 一個月的費用,總計約 500 萬美元。它還包括與重述約 400 萬美元相關的法律和會計費用。 12月提交的重述。
Including PortalPlayer, we added 456 new employees during the quarter and exited the year with 4,083 employees. For the year we added over 1,300 new employees.
包括 PortalPlayer,我們在本季度增加了 456 名新員工,並以 4,083 名員工退出了本年度。這一年,我們增加了 1,300 多名新員工。
Depreciation in the quarter was $30 million.
本季度折舊為 3000 萬美元。
The tax rate for the fiscal year and for the fourth quarter included the benefit of Congress passing the R&D tax credit retroactive to the beginning of calendar year 2006. This resulted in lowering both our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates. It lowered the GAAP tax rate by 7 percentage points to slightly over 9% for the year, and obviously a negative tax rate of 8% for the fourth quarter. For non-GAAP it lowered our fiscal year '07 rate by 6 percentage points to 10%, and resulted in a negative tax rate of 3% for the quarter.
本財年和第四季度的稅率包括國會通過追溯至 2006 日曆年初的研發稅收抵免的好處。這導致我們的 GAAP 和非 GAAP 稅率降低。它將GAAP稅率降低了7個百分點至略高於9%,第四季度顯然負稅率為8%。對於非公認會計原則,它將我們 07 財年的稅率降低了 6 個百分點至 10%,並導致本季度的負稅率為 3%。
All of this resulted in GAAP net income for the quarter of $164 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, and a non-GAAP net income of $206 million, or $0.53 per diluted share.
所有這一切導致該季度 GAAP 淨收入為 1.64 億美元,即每股攤薄收益 0.41 美元,非 GAAP 淨收益為 2.06 億美元,或每股攤薄收益 0.53 美元。
On the balance sheet, we exited the year with $1.12 billion in cash and marketable securities, which was down $56 million from the prior quarter. This is after paying approximately $160 million net of cash and marketable securities for the acquisition of PortalPlayer, and repurchasing $100 million worth of stock. For the year we repurchased $276 million worth of shares at an average cost of $26.80.
在資產負債表上,我們以 11.2 億美元的現金和有價證券退出了這一年,比上一季度減少了 5600 萬美元。這是在為收購 PortalPlayer 支付了大約 1.6 億美元的現金和有價證券淨額,並回購了價值 1 億美元的股票之後。這一年,我們以平均 26.80 美元的價格回購了價值 2.76 億美元的股票。
As a Company we generated more than $500 million in operating cash flow during the year.
作為一家公司,我們在這一年中產生了超過 5 億美元的運營現金流。
Accounts receivable grew by $79 million quarter to quarter, as Q4 was back end loaded. Our receivables are current. And DSO was at 53.7 days. Inventory declined by $19 million, and resulted in days sales of inventory of 65 days. We grew inventory of the GeForce 8 family and decreased the inventory of older products. Accounts Payable decreased by $52 million quarter to quarter.
應收賬款季度環比增長了 7900 萬美元,因為第四季度的後端負載。我們的應收款項是流動的。 DSO 為 53.7 天。存貨減少了 1900 萬美元,導致存貨銷售天數為 65 天。我們增加了 GeForce 8 系列的庫存並減少了舊產品的庫存。應付賬款季度環比減少 5200 萬美元。
Now for the outlook for Q1 fiscal year '08. For revenue we expect a normal seasonal decline associated with the PC business of approximately 5%. Although we believe our market and competitive position in each of our business units continues to be very strong, there are no significant industry growth drivers to offset seasonality.
現在是 08 財年第一季度的展望。對於收入,我們預計與 PC 業務相關的正常季節性下降約為 5%。儘管我們相信我們在每個業務部門的市場和競爭地位仍然非常強勁,但沒有顯著的行業增長動力來抵消季節性因素。
Although we are enthusiastic about Vista's impact on our business, we will be cautious in the first quarter. We expect a decline in memory from the Q4 levels. We expect a revenue contribution from PortalPlayer of less than $10 million in the quarter. For gross margin, we will continue to work hard to keep them flat to perhaps slightly improving.
儘管我們對 Vista 對我們業務的影響充滿熱情,但我們將在第一季度保持謹慎。我們預計內存將從第四季度的水平下降。我們預計 PortalPlayer 本季度的收入貢獻將低於 1000 萬美元。對於毛利率,我們將繼續努力使它們保持平穩,甚至可能略有改善。
On operating expenses, we have to absorb a full quarter of PortalPlayer, which will cause an increase of approximately $10 million from Q4. However, we believe that even with the additional expense, we may be able to keep operating expenses flat with Q4, as we focus on expense controls and restrict headcount additions.
在運營費用方面,我們必須吸收整個季度的 PortalPlayer,這將導致比第四季度增加約 1000 萬美元。然而,我們認為,即使有額外的費用,我們也可以使運營費用與第四季度持平,因為我們專注於費用控制並限制員工人數的增加。
We will get a small benefit in tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year '08, as we're projecting a tax rate of 14% for both GAAP and non-GAAP.
我們將在 08 財年第一季度的稅率上獲得少量收益,因為我們預計 GAAP 和非 GAAP 的稅率均為 14%。
With that, I will turn it back to Jen-Hsun.
有了這個,我會把它轉回給仁勳。

You know, the core of our business starts from first building the basic architecture itself. And it usually starts at the enthusiasts segment. The GeForce 8800 has beat the competition to market by well over six months and counting. And so it is the core by which we build our notebook GPU family, the rest of our desktop GPU family, our professional graphics solutions, our GPU computing products, as well as our motherboard GPU products, what we call -- what other people call integrated graphics. So it is the core to a lot of other businesses that we're in today.
要知道,我們業務的核心是從構建基礎架構本身開始的。它通常從愛好者部分開始。 GeForce 8800 已經在市場競爭中領先了六個多月,而且還在不斷增加。因此,它是我們構建筆記本 GPU 家族、台式機 GPU 家族的其餘部分、我們的專業圖形解決方案、我們的 GPU 計算產品以及我們的主板 GPU 產品的核心,我們稱之為 - 其他人稱之為集成顯卡。因此,它是我們今天所處的許多其他業務的核心。
GeForce 8800 has ramped up very nicely, as you know. And at the moment every single one of the businesses I just mentioned are in the process of taking that GeForce 8 core and driving it deep into their business. And so we're not ready to announce any products today, but I can assure you that every single one of those businesses have GeForce 8 throughout their product and are either ramping already or on the verge of ramping production.
如您所知,GeForce 8800 的升級非常好。目前,我剛剛提到的每一項業務都在將 GeForce 8 核心應用到他們的業務中。因此,我們今天還沒有準備好宣布任何產品,但我可以向您保證,這些企業中的每一個都在其產品中使用 GeForce 8,並且要么已經在加速生產,要么即將投入生產。

I think in terms of units, it is going to take well into the later part of the year, if not early next year. And the reason for that is because the GeForce 7 is such an incredibly efficient architecture, and it is the lowest cost Vista Premium solution that we know. So my sense is that we're going to continue to see quite a bit of success in GeForce 7 for people who would like to put together the lowest cost Vista Premium machine.
我認為就單位而言,即使不是明年初,它也將持續到今年下半年。原因在於 GeForce 7 是一種非常高效的架構,它是我們所知道的成本最低的 Vista Premium 解決方案。所以我的感覺是,對於那些希望組裝成本最低的 Vista Premium 機器的人來說,我們將繼續在 GeForce 7 中取得相當大的成功。
And so the volumes of the GeForce 7 family is going to continue well through this year, and probably well through next year. And that -- so the unit volume should be pretty high there.
因此,GeForce 7 系列的銷量將持續到今年,並且可能會持續到明年。那 - 所以那裡的單位體積應該相當高。
In terms of the revenue crossover, I will let Marv and I both guess at it, but my guess is that it is probably going to be Q4, Q3 -- late Q3, Q4 time frame.
在收入交叉方面,我會讓 Marv 和我都猜測,但我的猜測是它可能會在 Q4、Q3——Q3、Q4 的時間框架下。

Great. Just lastly, I saw your 6100 in Barcelona here this week.

We introduced our first application processor today, or this week. And this application processor, I hope you agree, is absolutely amazing. And it was really the core reason why we acquired PortalPlayer. They have a really, really talented team that arguably built the world's first computer on a chip. And then was the reason why the Apple engineers used it to build the iPod, which is really a computer with an operating system and a file system and connectivity, and was dedicated to media processing.
我們今天或本週推出了我們的第一個應用處理器。而這個應用處理器,我希望你同意,絕對是驚人的。這確實是我們收購 PortalPlayer 的核心原因。他們有一個非常非常有才華的團隊,可以說是建造了世界上第一台芯片上的計算機。這就是蘋果工程師用它來製造 iPod 的原因,它實際上是一台具有操作系統、文件系統和連接性的計算機,專門用於媒體處理。
And their obsession about low-power design has really enabled them to build some amazing products. They have this application processor in the back room, and what you're seeing now, the 6100, is the first of its kind.
他們對低功耗設計的痴迷確實使他們能夠製造出一些令人驚嘆的產品。他們在後面的房間裡有這個應用處理器,而您現在看到的 6100 是同類產品中的第一款。
Our companies are now -- our two engineering groups are now completely combined, and the roadmap has been integrated. We brought the company on board on January 5. And in a very short period of time we realigned our strategies. So now we're going to go build application processors that combine their expertise of building SoC's and our expertise of building GPUs.
我們的公司現在 - 我們的兩個工程團隊現在完全合併,路線圖已經整合。我們於 1 月 5 日讓公司加入。在很短的時間內,我們重新調整了戰略。所以現在我們要構建應用處理器,結合他們構建 SoC 的專業知識和我們構建 GPU 的專業知識。
My hope is that this year we will introduce an amazing product towards the end of the year. And next year we -- I hope that we get a lot of business traction as a result of that. This is by far the single largest new TAM that our Company has grown into. It is hard to say exactly how big this TAM is going to be, but you can -- you know, application processors is probably close to $4 billion to $6 billion in size already.
我希望今年我們將在年底推出一款令人驚嘆的產品。明年我們 - 我希望我們因此獲得很多業務牽引力。這是迄今為止我們公司已經發展成為的最大的新 TAM。很難確切地說這個 TAM 會有多大,但你可以——你知道,應用處理器的規模可能已經接近 40 億到 60 億美元。
And this particular marketplace is quickly transitioning to multimedia and graphics processing because of all the smartphones and portable media players and the combining of these two type of devices that we are seeing out there. My sense is that we're going to be right in the epicenter of a lot of exciting new devices pretty soon. This is a very, very exciting development for our Company.
由於所有智能手機和便攜式媒體播放器以及我們看到的這兩種設備的結合,這個特殊的市場正在迅速過渡到多媒體和圖形處理。我的感覺是,我們很快就會成為許多令人興奮的新設備的中心。這對我們公司來說是一個非常非常令人興奮的發展。

A couple of questions. Firstly, can you update us on your roadmap as far as Intel-based chipsets is concerned? And where do you see volume ramp of that as we look through the year?

Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
We haven't really announced any of our products yet. I think the market has been very vocal about inviting us, if you will, to come and participate in this marketplace. And the reason for that is because, even in the Intel market there needs to be a branded motherboard GPU alternative for the consumer segments and the multimedia rich type segments where graphics is real important.
我們還沒有真正宣布我們的任何產品。我認為市場一直在非常直言不諱地邀請我們,如果你願意的話,來參與這個市場。其原因是,即使在英特爾市場,也需要有品牌主板 GPU 替代品,供消費者細分市場和圖形非常重要的多媒體豐富類型細分市場使用。
And now with Vista Premium coming out, and all the applications that are coming out in 3D, it is really important to make sure that your GPU software and architecture is as terrific as possible.
現在隨著 Vista Premium 的推出,以及所有以 3D 形式推出的應用程序,確保您的 GPU 軟件和架構盡可能出色非常重要。
We know that the market has a significant demand for our product. And we're just racing as fast as we can to get there. I don't have anything to announce to you today, but we have a lot of focus inside the Company to develop products for that segment.

We have all kinds of plans for developing products in the future. I don't really see the benefit of telling the market or the competition particularly what we're building several years out. And I don't know why they are, to tell you the truth, unless they are panicked about something, or feel somewhat apologetic about something else. I think we ought to keep all of our product roadmaps to ourselves.
我們對未來的產品開發有各種計劃。我並沒有真正看到告訴市場或競爭對手的好處,尤其是我們幾年後正在建設的東西。我不知道他們為什麼會這樣,說實話,除非他們對某事感到恐慌,或者對其他事感到有些抱歉。我認為我們應該把所有的產品路線圖都留給自己。
Ultimately the thing that I do know is this. We are really good at building the technologies that you guys know we're great at building. And we're focused as a Company to differentiate by building products that consumers want to buy. And my sense is that if the market wants to buy those products, we're going to know well in advance and we will build the right products for the marketplace. I don't see any particular reason why -- well, I guess we just -- no comment on the roadmap.
最終我所知道的就是這個。我們非常擅長構建你們知道我們擅長構建的技術。作為一家公司,我們專注於通過打造消費者想要購買的產品來實現差異化。我的感覺是,如果市場想要購買這些產品,我們將提前了解,我們將為市場打造合適的產品。我看不出有什麼特別的原因——嗯,我想我們只是——沒有對路線圖發表評論。

Can you talk about the cell phone traction in fiscal '08? It seems in the last analyst day you were pretty bullish on the cell phone traction, with 2G as well as the 3G and so on. So where are you -- where do you see the revenues growing from about a $100 million level to what kind of revenue growth can you expect here?
您能談談 08 財年的手機牽引力嗎?在上一個分析師日,您似乎非常看好手機的牽引力,包括 2G 和 3G 等等。那麼你在哪裡——你認為收入從大約 1 億美元的水平增長到你在這裡可以期待什麼樣的收入增長?

Yes. I still remain incredibly bullish about our mobile efforts. In terms of 2.5G, we absolutely achieved our objective of capturing the design wins we wanted to capture.
是的。我仍然非常看好我們在移動方面的努力。在 2.5G 方面,我們絕對實現了我們想要獲得的設計勝利的目標。
Unfortunately a lot of our focus was on Motorola. And as you saw in some of the reports already, some of the phones that we were designed into weren't as successful as we would like. Net net we ended up at $108 million for the year, and grew 85% year-over-year. I am pretty sure based on all the design wins that we have now that this coming year is going to be more than $108 million. The question is how much more.
不幸的是,我們的很多注意力都集中在摩托羅拉上。正如你已經在一些報告中看到的那樣,我們設計的一些手機並沒有我們想要的那麼成功。我們全年的淨收入為 1.08 億美元,同比增長 85%。我很確定,根據我們現在獲得的所有設計勝利,來年將超過 1.08 億美元。問題是還有多少。
And secondarily our focus now is we're going to continue to invest in GPUs. But our primary focus is going to be in taking the GPU and the application processor components and putting them into an SoC. And our customers are all asking us for that. And based on the type of vision that the phone industry has conveyed to all of us, and some of the exciting new phones that are being talked about, the type of technology is very clear. Graphics processing is going to be important.
其次,我們現在的重點是我們將繼續投資於 GPU。但我們的主要關注點是將 GPU 和應用處理器組件放入 SoC 中。我們的客戶都要求我們這樣做。根據手機行業向我們所有人傳達的願景類型,以及正在談論的一些令人興奮的新手機,技術類型非常明確。圖形處理將很重要。
3D graphics processing, so that you could do the type of user interface like Vista, except doing it on the phone is very exciting. And video processing and encoding. So there's all kinds of new capabilities that the phone manufacturers want to bring to the marketplace next year.
3D圖形處理,讓你可以做Vista那種類型的用戶界面,除了在手機上做是很刺激的。以及視頻處理和編碼。因此,手機製造商希望在明年將各種新功能推向市場。
And so I think we're strategically extremely well positioned. We just need to go execute and make those design wins -- turn those design wins into business.
所以我認為我們在戰略上處於非常有利的位置。我們只需要執行並取得這些設計勝利——將這些設計勝利轉化為業務。

As a follow-up, in terms of Intel low end strategy, is that a single chip strategy, or only with single chip would you enter the market? Or what is your thinking and strategy in terms of the Intel low end strategy, chipset strategy?

We started this trend of building a single chip motherboard GPU. And it is the core logic, all the connectivity, all the graphics, all the platform technologies, all integrated into one chip.
我們開始了構建單芯片主板 GPU 的趨勢。它是將核心邏輯、所有連接性、所有圖形、所有平台技術都集成到一個芯片中。
The marketplace really, really likes it. And reason for that is because computers want to be smaller than ever, and want to drive the power down. And the fewer chips you have in the system, the lower the cost, the lower the space requirement, the lower the power. And from our perspective fewer chips allows us to improve our margins.
市場真的,真的很喜歡它。這樣做的原因是因為計算機想要比以往更小,並且想要降低功耗。而且系統中的芯片越少,成本越低,空間要求越低,功耗越低。從我們的角度來看,更少的籌碼可以讓我們提高利潤率。
So technically it is extremely complicated in the sense that you have to get mixed signal technology and I/O technology, and all your connectivity technology on the same process, which tends to be very early on for GPUs, you know, all into the same process. So technologically it is a great challenge. But I think we happen to be one of those companies that really know how to pull it all together. And so we're going to continue to take advantage of that leadership position.
所以從技術上講,這是非常複雜的,因為你必須在同一個過程中獲得混合信號技術和 I/O 技術,以及你所有的連接技術,這對於 GPU 來說往往是很早的,你知道的,都在同一個過程中過程。所以在技術上這是一個巨大的挑戰。但我認為我們恰好是那些真正知道如何將這一切整合在一起的公司之一。因此,我們將繼續利用這一領導地位。

I was wondering if you can, Jen-Hsun, talk about the attach rate of discrete graphics for Vista, and what you're seeing in terms of initial Vista demand, and the demand for the more premium version of the operating system versus basic, which will really drive requirements for your 8800 GPU?
Jen-Hsun,我想知道您是否可以談談 Vista 的獨立顯卡的附加率,以及您在 Vista 的初始需求方面所看到的情況,以及對操作系統的更高級版本與基本版本的需求,哪些會真正推動您對 8800 GPU 的要求?
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
I can tell you what logic would compel, and what we believe. And in terms of real experience, it is really hard to tell you because Vista has really just started shipping. But what logic would compel is that Vista is the first operating system that is fully based on the programmability and the shading capability and the graphics rendering processing capability of a GPU. And it exposes this capability to not just the user interface, but it exposes this capability to all applications.
我可以告訴你什麼邏輯會強迫,我們相信什麼。而就實際體驗而言,真的很難告訴你,因為 Vista 才剛剛開始出貨。但從邏輯上來說,Vista 是第一個完全基於 GPU 的可編程性和著色能力以及圖形渲染處理能力的操作系統。它不僅向用戶界面公開了這種能力,而且向所有應用程序公開了這種能力。
And so the compelling logic is that if the GPU is much more, much more [taxed], and all of the applications use more 3D graphics capability, you would think that the GPU will be more relevant. I think that there's no question as you use Vista, the experience is just far better with the GPU than when it is not. It is snappier. And that is just the user interface. All of the operating system -- all of the applications that use 3D graphics haven't really been exposed to this yet.
因此,令人信服的邏輯是,如果 GPU 更多、更多[徵稅],並且所有應用程序都使用更多 3D 圖形功能,您會認為 GPU 將更相關。我認為毫無疑問,當您使用 Vista 時,使用 GPU 的體驗比不使用時要好得多。它更活潑。這只是用戶界面。所有的操作系統——所有使用 3D 圖形的應用程序還沒有真正接觸到這一點。
We know that there are many applications that are being developed where 3D graphics is going to make the application richer, many Web 2.0 applications. And we see many from Microsoft already that really exploits the capability of 3D. Even iTunes, renders the album covers in 3D now. And so there are all kind of applications that are coming that takes advantage of 3D graphics. So logic would certainly compel us to believe that GPUs will be more prevalently used.
我們知道有許多正在開發的應用程序,其中 3D 圖形將使應用程序更豐富,許多 Web 2.0 應用程序。我們已經看到許多來自 Microsoft 的產品真正利用了 3D 的功能。即使是 iTunes,現在也可以 3D 呈現專輯封面。因此,將出現各種利用 3D 圖形的應用程序。所以邏輯肯定會迫使我們相信 GPU 將被更普遍地使用。
We believe that to be the case. And so we are cautious in the first quarter as we go into it. But our belief is that GPUs will become more important than ever before.
我們認為情況確實如此。因此,我們在進入第一季度時保持謹慎。但我們相信,GPU 將變得比以往任何時候都更加重要。

But do you see the trend for notebooks also where, obviously Intel would be Centrino platform, they have I guess 70% of that market, so do you see that trend reversing to where you see (indiscernible) for your discrete notebook solution and also your MCPs for the notebook market?
但是您是否也看到筆記本電腦的趨勢,顯然英特爾將成為迅馳平台,我猜他們擁有該市場的 70%,所以您是否看到這種趨勢正在逆轉到您看到的(聽不清)您的分立筆記本電腦解決方案以及您的筆記本電腦市場的 MCP?
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
The way we see it is that the notebook is really, really a form factor issue. And so we're going to go to the marketplace, if the form factor allows for a discrete GPU, we would offer the market a discrete GPU. But if the market would like a motherboard GPU, what is commonly called an integrated graphics chip, if the motherboard GPU is the way they would like to power Vista, we are delighted by that as well.
我們看到它的方式是,筆記本確實是一個外形問題。因此,我們將進入市場,如果外形尺寸允許使用獨立 GPU,我們將為市場提供獨立 GPU。但是如果市場想要主板GPU,也就是通常所說的集成圖形芯片,如果主板GPU是他們想要驅動Vista的方式,我們也很高興。
And, in fact, if you see our core logic business, the MCP business, it has grown dramatically year-over-year. And a lot of that growth is because of motherboard graphics. I think that there's some evidence that motherboard GPUs -- it is just another way of accessing the capabilities of GPUs, and we are going to see some continuous growth there.
而且,事實上,如果你看到我們的核心邏輯業務,即 MCP 業務,它每年都在顯著增長。而這種增長很大程度上是因為主板顯卡。我認為有一些證據表明主板 GPU——它只是訪問 GPU 功能的另一種方式,我們將在那裡看到一些持續的增長。

Just a follow-up question, I guess on Vista. If I look at the Mercury Research forecast currently for desktop discrete, they're looking for a single digit decline in '07. But surprisingly they're looking for almost 20 to 30% ASP growth in the desktop segment. Can you give me your perspective on what you're looking for, or what would be the impact of Vista on the GF8 family this year?

Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Our ASP has been kind of growing pretty steadily over the years. And I think it is logical to me because more and more of our computing experience is around the visual experience. And all of the most exciting applications, or many of the most exciting applications, that we know, are really, really graphics rich. The resolution to the display is being driven by Moore's Law.
多年來,我們的 ASP 一直在穩步增長。而且我認為這對我來說是合乎邏輯的,因為我們越來越多的計算體驗圍繞著視覺體驗。我們所知道的所有最令人興奮的應用程序,或許多最令人興奮的應用程序,都非常非常豐富的圖形。顯示器的分辨率由摩爾定律驅動。
And the color depth, on the other dimension, each pixel is moving faster than Moore's Law in the sense that the number of pixels -- the number of objects we render on each pixel and the color fidelity of each pixel is really going up quite dramatically.
而顏色深度,在另一個維度上,每個像素的移動速度都比摩爾定律快,因為像素的數量——我們在每個像素上渲染的對像數量以及每個像素的顏色保真度確實在急劇上升.
So it stands to reason that more and more work needs to be done on the GPU. And if that is the case, and more of your computing experience is depending on a GPU, if that is the case then ASPs ought to continue to grow. So if somebody told me that ASP is going to grow steadily over the next so years, I guess I'm not going to be surprised by that, because historical evidence would suggest that is the case.
所以理所當然的,越來越多的工作需要在 GPU 上完成。如果是這樣的話,而且你更多的計算經驗依賴於 GPU,如果是這樣的話,那麼 ASP 應該會繼續增長。因此,如果有人告訴我 ASP 將在接下來的幾年中穩步增長,我想我不會對此感到驚訝,因為歷史證據表明情況確實如此。

Our CapEx in the quarter was roughly $70 million, $71 million. However, there's a couple of factors in there that you should be aware of. There was roughly $37 million of what I would call the normal CapEx, which is equipment and software that we bought. There's about $14 million worth of IP intangibles from investments that we made. And there's about $20 million of a reclass from long-term assets into that account. So I would say that the normal CapEx was $37 million.
我們本季度的資本支出約為 7000 萬美元,7100 萬美元。但是,您應該注意其中的幾個因素。我所說的正常資本支出中大約有 3700 萬美元,即我們購買的設備和軟件。我們的投資產生了價值約 1400 萬美元的知識產權無形資產。大約有 2000 萬美元從長期資產重新分類到該賬戶。所以我想說正常的資本支出是 3700 萬美元。

We are expecting seasonal dynamics in the first quarter. There are some -- we do have Intel core logic that we announced, as I mentioned earlier, the 680i.

I don't know whether it is going to make up for the seasonal decline, but we're not counting on it at the moment. Then later as the year progresses, and as we launch our Intel CPU-based motherboard GPUs, we are expecting quite a bit of growth from that.

Last question on your -- the computing GPU product that maybe I didn't quite understand it properly. But is it something that will be sort of additive to your workstation business, or is it a new category? What type of additional market opportunity does that get for you guys?
關於您的最後一個問題 - 計算 GPU 產品,我可能不太了解它。但它是對您的工作站業務有所幫助的東西,還是一個新的類別?這會給你們帶來什麼樣的額外市場機會?
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
The GPU computing initiative is absolutely additive. And I would argue that the industry has had a vacuum, or a super computing crisis for sometime. Scientists and researchers have been clamoring for more computing horsepower for quite a bit of time. And yet the technology hasn't existed that enables them to do some of the methods -- computational methods that they want to try. So GPU computing is really going to help address that.
GPU 計算計劃絕對是附加的。我認為這個行業已經出現了真空,或者說超級計算危機已經有一段時間了。很長一段時間以來,科學家和研究人員一直在呼籲提高計算能力。然而,尚不存在使他們能夠執行某些方法的技術——他們想嘗試的計算方法。所以 GPU 計算真的會幫助解決這個問題。
I frankly think that the combination between a CPU and a GPU, with GPU computing capabilities, will really create a new class of workstations. One not for necessarily design, but one for computation. It is almost like a personal super computer that the researchers and the scientists will get to leverage.
我坦率地認為,一個 CPU 和一個 GPU 的結合,加上 GPU 的計算能力,真的會創造出一個新的工作站。一種不一定用於設計,但一種用於計算。它幾乎就像是研究人員和科學家可以利用的個人超級計算機。
This is absolutely a new class of computing, and it is a new initiative for us. And our early response from the people we have spoken to, and many of them in the financial industry, are just incredibly enthusiastic. We're very excited about it.
這絕對是一個新的計算類別,對我們來說是一個新的舉措。與我們交談過的人以及金融行業中的許多人對我們的早期反應非常熱情。我們對此感到非常興奮。

Marv, just really a clarification on the impact of Portal. And if I heard you correctly that in terms of the R&D and expenses you had a $5 million hit, a $4 million hit, but a net income contribution of about $1 million. Was there any revenues also for the quarter?
Marv,只是對 Portal 的影響進行了真正的澄清。如果我沒聽錯的話,就研發和費用而言,你的收入是 500 萬美元,400 萬美元,但淨收入貢獻約為 100 萬美元。本季度是否也有任何收入?
Marv Burkett - CFO
Marv Burkett - CFO
The revenue in Q4 was roughly $1 million. So there was roughly $5 million worth of expenses and $1 million worth of revenue. When you look into Q1, we're looking at something slightly less than $10 million in revenue and approximately $15 million in expenses.
第四季度的收入約為 100 萬美元。因此,大約有 500 萬美元的費用和 100 萬美元的收入。當您查看第一季度時,我們看到的收入略低於 1000 萬美元,支出約為 1500 萬美元。

Which is my follow-up in terms of what you talked about the outlook for the quarter that you expected that $10 million to come from Portal. But did I hear you correctly that you think your overall OpEx could be flat quarter on quarter?
這是我就您談到本季度前景的後續行動,您預計 1000 萬美元將來自 Portal。但是我是否正確地聽到了您認為您的整體運營支出可能與季度持平?
Marv Burkett - CFO
Marv Burkett - CFO
Yes. We think that we can -- obviously we had the onetime cost in Q4 for the restatement. And there are some other onetime costs in Q4. I think that we're very cost-conscious right now. And the Company does a very good job of responding to those circumstances. So I think we have a very good chance of holding OpEx flat, even though we're going to have to absorb the $10 million increase in the PortalPlayer.
是的。我們認為我們可以 - 顯然我們在第四季度有重述的一次性成本。第四季度還有一些其他一次性成本。我認為我們現在非常注重成本。公司在應對這些情況方面做得非常好。所以我認為我們很有可能保持運營支出持平,即使我們將不得不吸收 PortalPlayer 增加的 1000 萬美元。

Also a clarification on the guidance. Was the 5% seasonal decline, was that a comment just on the PC-facing segments of your business, or was that for your overall revenue expectations?
還對指導進行了澄清。 5% 的季節性下降是針對您業務中面向 PC 的部分的評論,還是針對您的整體收入預期?
Marv Burkett - CFO
Marv Burkett - CFO
I think it was more overall. But I would classify that we expect memory to decline. And that would be probably, in my view, the single largest component of that 5%. But if you had to pick a point estimate, we are saying overall revenue decline 5%.
我認為它更全面。但我認為我們預計記憶力會下降。在我看來,這可能是這 5% 中最大的一個組成部分。但如果你必須選擇一個點估計,我們說的是整體收入下降了 5%。

Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Channel sell through is picking up. The Q3 and Q4 were a bit choppier than -- and I think all of you saw that -- a bit choppier than we all expected. I think some of that had to do with AM2 gap out in the channel. But we are seeing AM2s are back, and there's plenty of Conroes as well. And both of those CPUs are really wonderful CPUs. And when they're available in the channel, it really helps our GPU business. We are seeing business sell through certainly very quite brisk right now.
渠道銷售正在回升。第三季度和第四季度的波動比——我想你們所有人都看到了——比我們所有人預期的要波動。我認為其中一些與頻道中的 AM2 間隙有關。但我們看到 AM2 又回來了,而且還有很多 Conroes。這兩個 CPU 都是非常棒的 CPU。當它們在頻道中可用時,它確實有助於我們的 GPU 業務。我們現在看到業務銷售肯定非常活躍。

That is very helpful. As far as the actual buildup though of motherboards in the channel, is that now done and over with, now that the CPUs are available, or do we still have a bit of a backup that maybe takes a couple more weeks to get through?

Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
It depends on what segments we're talking about. And our Intel motherboards, for example, are still ramping, and we're still doing quite well with our Intel motherboard business. I haven't really checked on the AMD side of it, but now that the CPUs are back -- and quite a few CPUs were taken out of the channel, as you know -- so the return of the CPUs is really, really a good thing for all of us.
這取決於我們正在談論的細分市場。例如,我們的英特爾主板仍在增長,我們的英特爾主板業務仍然做得很好。我還沒有真正檢查過它的 AMD 方面,但是現在 CPU 回來了——正如你所知,很多 CPU 被從通道中取出——所以 CPU 的回歸真的非常非常對我們所有人來說都是好事。

Then just a last quick one for me, if I could. On the gross margin improvement, which was very nice in the first quarter, can you can just comment on the various puts and takes within that? In other words, I know API, or AMD now, had commented on the tough pricing environment. It didn't seem to have affected you guys, given your positioning. So that is just one aspect I wanted to see if you can comment on.
如果可以的話,那就給我最後一個快速的。關於第一季度非常好的毛利率改善,您能否評論一下其中的各種看跌期權?換句話說,我知道現在的 API 或 AMD 曾評論過艱難的定價環境。考慮到你們的定位,這似乎並沒有影響到你們。所以這只是我想看看你是否可以評論的一個方面。
And then just secondly on the TSMC pricing which seems to have been favorable in the quarter, is that a quantifiable benefit to your margins in the quarter?
其次,台積電的定價在本季度似乎是有利的,這是否對您本季度的利潤率有可量化的好處?
Marv Burkett - CFO
Marv Burkett - CFO
Let me start through it. In the GPU business we improved gross margins quarter to quarter. Some of that improvement came from the fact that the workstation business grew very nicely during the quarter. So we benefited in the GPU business because of that.
讓我從它開始。在 GPU 業務中,我們逐季提高了毛利率。其中一些改善來自工作站業務在本季度增長得非常好這一事實。因此,我們從 GPU 業務中受益。
In MCPs they improved the gross margin and the revenue increase. It is just a continued focus there on improving gross margins. Handheld improved gross margins, even though revenue was relatively flat.
在 MCP 中,他們提高了毛利率和收入增長。它只是繼續關注提高毛利率。儘管收入相對持平,但手持設備的毛利率有所提高。
Memory went up during the quarter, which would have had a drag on gross margins. So I would say that each of the business units contributed to gross margin improvement. The increase in memory was a slight drag on it.
內存在本季度有所增加,這將拖累毛利率。所以我想說,每個業務部門都為毛利率的提高做出了貢獻。內存的增加對它有輕微的拖累。

Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang - President, CEO
Sure. First of all, PortalPlayer's focus has always been in the personal media player market. And in that marketplace the digital media processing is really important. And extreme low-power is extremely important. So if you get a chance to see the new 6100, and watch it do -- see it do decoding VGA resolution video, and watch it doing it at just barely, barely a sweat, it is really, really amazing.
當然。首先,PortalPlayer 的重點一直是個人媒體播放器市場。在那個市場中,數字媒體處理非常重要。而極低的功耗是極其重要的。因此,如果您有機會看到新的 6100,並觀看它——觀看它對 VGA 分辨率視頻的解碼,並且觀看它幾乎不費吹灰之力地完成它,這真的非常非常了不起。
So their focus is building a complete computer on a chip that is capable of doing multimedia processing at extremely low-power levels. That is really where their focus was.
因此,他們的重點是在能夠以極低功耗水平進行多媒體處理的芯片上構建完整的計算機。這確實是他們的重點所在。
Relative to us, the reason why PortalPlayer is so valuable to us is because we don't have an application processor. And in combination with -- but we do have a very deep investment in GPU technologies over the years, and the combination of our graphics and video and image processing capabilities in combination with their application processor really gives us a unique position in the marketplace.
相對於我們來說,PortalPlayer 之所以對我們如此有價值,是因為我們沒有應用處理器。結合——但多年來我們確實對 GPU 技術進行了非常深入的投資,我們的圖形、視頻和圖像處理能力與其應用處理器的結合確實使我們在市場上處於獨特的地位。
So I would say that their positioning in the mobile marketplace was good, but challenging because of the amount of R&D they could really invest. And our positioning was good in the high-end markets, where the flagship phones really needed the multimedia capabilities we brought.
所以我想說他們在移動市場的定位很好,但由於他們可以真正投資的研發數量而具有挑戰性。而且我們在高端市場的定位很好,旗艦手機確實需要我們帶來的多媒體功能。
In combination, now we can build some SoCs that are absolutely amazing. And that is the reason why we decided, our two management teams decided to combine the companies.
結合起來,現在我們可以構建一些絕對令人驚嘆的 SoC。這就是我們決定的原因,我們的兩個管理團隊決定合併這些公司。

A quick question for you, Jen-Hsun. If you could talk about, you have taken quite a bit of share in several of the markets now from your closest competitor, that was acquired by AMD. Can you talk about what you think might be their response, and if there's anything that you can do to offset it or continue the track record that you have put up?
Jen-Hsun 給你一個簡單的問題。如果你可以談論,你現在已經從你最接近的競爭對手那裡獲得了相當多的市場份額,後者被 AMD 收購。你能談談你認為他們的反應是什麼,如果你能做些什麼來抵消它或繼續你已經提出的跟踪記錄?

First of all, that is a really good question and I hope I don't answer it, not publicly anyhow. So please don't encourage me. You know what I would say is that our marketshare is in fact, although improving year-over-year, I think we came out of the year last year at about 18, 19% overall graphics marketshare. We're at 29%.
首先,這是一個非常好的問題,我希望我不要回答,無論如何不要公開回答。所以請不要鼓勵我。你知道我要說的是,我們的市場份額實際上是,雖然逐年提高,但我認為我們去年的整體圖形市場份額約為 18%,即 19%。我們是 29%。
As far as I'm concerned, whether it is a discrete GPU or a motherboard GPU, they are both GPUs. And we believe that there are segments of the marketplace that really prefer to have a better GPU than not. And our GPU brand, the GeForce brand, is just so strong that I think we still have at a lot of opportunity.
就我而言,無論是獨立GPU還是主板GPU,它們都是GPU。我們相信,市場上的某些細分市場確實更喜歡擁有更好的 GPU。我們的 GPU 品牌 GeForce 品牌非常強大,我認為我們仍然有很多機會。
Now we're the only GPU Company in the world that is completely focused, number one, but also participates in building and selling GPUs into both microprocessor markets, both the AMD market as well as the Intel market. And we are the distinguishing brand of both platforms. So I'm excited about that. Our job is to grow our overall GPU business from 29% to something much higher than that.

If I could, Marv, turn to you for a quick second. And I guess Jen-Hsun also plays a role in this. What is your view on the -- on share buyback? And what should we be thinking about on the stock dilution level? Clearly this quarter you guys kept -- the share count came in very close to unchanged. Any guidance you can offer on what we should think about going forward?
如果可以的話,Marv,請稍等一下。我猜仁勳也在其中扮演了一個角色。您對股票回購有何看法?我們應該在股票稀釋水平上考慮什麼?很明顯,本季度你們保持不變——股票數量幾乎沒有變化。您可以就我們應該考慮的未來提供任何指導嗎?

Totally separate from that, the annual dilution level on what I call a gross basis, meaning how many shares we issue, is established by the comp committee. And so we have been bringing that down for several years now. It was roughly 3% last year. That is excluding stock buybacks. And I think it will be less than that in fiscal year '08. But that is exclusive of any buybacks.
與此完全不同的是,我所說的總額基礎上的年度稀釋水平,即我們發行的股票數量,是由薪酬委員會確定的。所以我們已經把它降低了好幾年了。去年大約是3%。這不包括股票回購。而且我認為這將低於 08 財年。但這不包括任何回購。

As Conroe continues to grow into the marketplace, we expect our 680i family to do -- to follow that. And so I think that (inaudible) that is our core Intel chipset product right now, and hopefully in the near future we will try to add something to that with our motherboards GPUs for the Intel processor.
