Our net revenue was $38.3 billion in 2007, an increase of 8% compared to 2006. Higher microprocessor unit sales were partially offset by lower microprocessor average selling prices. Higher mobile chipset unit sales also contributed to the increase in net revenue.

Lower NOR flash memory revenue was mostly offset by the ramp of our NAND flash memory business. The decrease in NOR flash memory revenue was due to a significant decline in average selling prices. Lower royalty revenue was offset by higher unit sales.

Revenue in the Asia-Pacific region increased 11% and revenue in the Europe region increased 10% in 2007 compared to 2006, and revenue in both the Americas region and Japan increased 3% in 2007 compared to 2006. Revenue from both mature and emerging markets increased in 2007 compared to 2006. While the revenue in mature markets increased in all four geographic regions, the majority of the growth in revenue occurred in the Asia-Pacific region. A substantial majority of the increase in emerging markets also occurred in the Asia-Pacific region.

Our overall gross margin dollars for 2007 were $19.9 billion, an increase of $1.7 billion, or 9%, compared to 2006. Our overall gross margin percentage was relatively flat at 51.9% in 2007 compared to 51.5% in 2006. The gross margin percentage increase in the Digital Enterprise Group operating segment was mostly offset by a decrease in the gross margin percentage in the Mobility Group operating segment and costs associated with the ramp of our NAND flash memory business. We derived most of our overall gross margin dollars and operating profit in 2007 and 2006 from the sale of microprocessors in the Digital Enterprise Group and Mobility Group operating segments. See "Business Outlook" for a discussion of gross margin expectations.

Our net revenue was $35.4 billion in 2006, a decrease of 9% compared to 2005. Substantially all of the decrease was due to significantly lower average selling prices of microprocessors. Fiscal year 2006 was a 52-week fiscal year in contrast to fiscal year 2005, which was a 53-week fiscal year.

Revenue from sales of NOR flash memory products decreased in 2006 compared to 2005, primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher royalty revenue. In 2006, we began shipping NAND flash memory products manufactured by IMFT.

Revenue in the Asia-Pacific region decreased 10% and revenue in the Europe region decreased 20% in 2006 compared to 2005. These decreases were slightly offset by revenue in Japan, which increased slightly in 2006 compared to 2005. Revenue in the Americas region was approximately flat in 2006 compared to 2005. Mature and emerging markets both declined in 2006 compared to 2005. The decrease within mature markets occurred in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions, and a substantial majority of the decrease within the emerging markets occurred in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions.

Our overall gross margin dollars for 2006 were $18.2 billion, a decrease of $4.8 billion, or 21%, compared to 2005. Our overall gross margin percentage decreased to 51.5% in 2006 from 59.4% in 2005. The gross margin percentage for the Digital Enterprise Group and the Mobility Group were both lower in 2006 compared to 2005. A mix shift of our total revenue to the Mobility Group, which has a higher gross margin percentage, slightly offset these decreases to the overall gross margin. We derived most of our overall gross margin dollars in 2006 and 2005 from the sale of microprocessors in the Digital Enterprise Group and Mobility Group operating segments. The 2006 gross margin included the impact of share-based compensation, which we began recognizing in 2006. The 2005 gross margin was affected by a litigation settlement agreement with MicroUnity, Inc. in which we recorded a $140 million charge to cost of sales, of which $110 million was allocated to the Digital Enterprise Group and $30 million was allocated to the Mobility Group.
