Re: needs to go back to school and take math

He may have been considering that right now FAB 25 has to make all CPUs, chipsets, flash, prototypes, etc, while FAB 30 will be a dedicated CPU facility along the lines of the intel dedicated fabs. 5,000 x 300 x .5 yield x 52 weeks gives 39 million chips from the one fab. If they got another 15 or 20 million out of fab 25 (and could sell most of them, not a given!) wouldn't they have a lot more than 30% of the market?

I think I'd have felt safer if they were going after half of the top 25% of the market - and I think this is what Atiq Raz was insisting upon, but Jerry seems determined to blow Intel right out of the market, or die trying. If his strategy is even partly successful, AMD will win very big - otherwise it gets sold off.
