Michael,

<And now they have to make a profit and everyone is happy..;)>

Ain't that the truth! That's what I am most concerned about for the short term. I am very upbeat about AMDs prospects for year 2000 when 0.18 lets them sell at least 5Mu Athlons a quarter (without Dresden) but Q4 still looks shaky to me.

AMD has definitely lost 2 valuable months so far and they cannot afford to lose any more if they want to have a good Q4. As things stand right now, AMD is on the verge of losing the lucrative back to the school season. If AMD can't get a good number of K7 systems on retail shelves, kids will be going to school with Celron or PIII 450/500 PCs. Christmas looks better but I would not underestimate Intel's marketing muscle - especially if there are any more unanticipated delays.

Looking forward to good system availability in retail ....

Chuck
