Kumar analysis of AMD Oct 7, 1998: Ashok Kumar, a Piper Jaffray analyst, also pointed out in a research note that he believes the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company will miss its next new product shipment date due to its current low manufacturing yields. Advanced Micro chairman W.J. (Jerry) Sanders said on a conference call Tuesday that the company will ship "hundreds of thousands" of its next version of the K6-2 processor, running at speeds of 400 megahertz, in the fourth quarter. But Kumar said in a note to clients "We believe that the low yields at 400 megahertz will push out the launch date of this product from the fourth quarter to the first quarter." Kumar said he believes that Advanced Micro is currently experiencing manufacturing yields of less than one percent on this new K6-2 chip -- meaning that less than one percent are shippable to customers. "Yes, we will ship 400 megahertz parts in the fourth quarter," Sanders told analysts on the call. "Yes."
