They only count sales to distis when the parts sell-through.>

Ahh... So that might be because then the money comes in minus the disti's margin, or otherwise because the distis have the some kind of option to send processors back?


Kind of in-between, I think. The distributor can sell the parts for whatever he can get and the manufacturer (AMD in this case) wants to keep the distributor as a customer. If there are too many parts, the distributor can't sell them and if he can't sell, he certainly won't buy more from the manufacturer. So the manufacturer will drop his price to help the disti sell-through.
