re Drew Peck's comments:

AMD's current ratio deteriorated from 1.9 at the end of 1998 to 1.5 at end of q3. More ominously, their cash position plummeted 46% from $697M to $377M in the same time frame.

Their cash burn rate is $1.2M per day. This means the operation Sanders is proposing selling at $80M is worth 68 days of cash to amd at historical cash burn rates. (Assuming they have a buyer at $80M).

Peck has good reason to temper any enthusiasm over the potential of athlon with questions about amd's future as a going concern.
