FF, <Whether or not AMD's manufacturing problems are related to poor designs or AMD's manufacturing processes themselves are poor, the result is the same....poor yields.> Ok, it looks like you want to admit that you simply CANNOT DISTINCT as why AMD cannot manufacture "a product that performs competitively". If so, what is the value of your "analysis" here? <I'm sure even within AMD there are design engineers blaming manufacturing/process engineers..> Don't be so sure. This just stresses that you have no clue about the AMD situation. <I am talking about the major prolonged yield problems that occur every time AMD introduces a NEW chip.> Could you be more specific about what do you mean under "NEW" chip? All K6's have the same core and therefore the same architectural and "manufacturability" constraints, do they? <The inventory AMD is sitting on is already getting dusty> I am confused here:) Are these chips non-functional or what? <Let's see what kind of manufacturing/yield problems materialize with the K7.> And your point is?
