Chuck - RE: "In the event of problems with K7 ramp (technical or sales), I would be surprised if Jerry has no backup plan to either
a) fill the fab, or
b) sell the fab"

Atiq may not have left if there was a back up plan.

"I just got off the ATML conf call a few minutes back and flash is booming with no end in sight with respect to growth."

That is great news. Last Q, Jerry said flash would be up 10% and it was up about 31%. I believe they have projected the same thing this time.

According to one of AMD's guys (not Jerry), flash demand is accelerating beyond supply ability and prices are going up.

A 25% gain in AMD's memory group would be equivalent to selling an additional more than 700,000 K6-Xs at an ASP of $55. But I may be getting too optimistic with the 25% number...

However much flash does go up, every dollar that can counterbalance AMD's current losses is helpful.
