Kash Re (from the article) -Intel has demonstrated prototype chips faster than the Athlon. So why isn't it selling them yet? Because it doesn't have the manufacturing details worked out to its satisfaction -AMD has never had very good yields on its microchip manufacturing -So no matter how wonderful the Athlon is, AMD's potential market is limited by the number of chips it can manufacture, which is a small fraction of what Intel can do even when AMD does get good yields. When did Intel demonstrate this supper chip. I hope they do not mean that supper-cooled demo. AMD has NEVER had good yields? Do they realize how much money "POTENTIALY" AMD can make from fab 25 and 30. That is a lot of potential money for AMD. This piece was about as bad as I have seen. Hmmm. Makes you wonder. Mani
