Yes, I agree. If my memory serves me right, Jerry reported during Q2 cc that Athlon sample wafer starts started by that time. I asked the process guys on the day of the Q2 and Q3 conf calls why it would take AMD till Q2 to go to production. PB and TWY responded with some thoughts but at this point it is hard to tell what is going on.

My experience suggest that with the sample start schedule noted publicly, production should be in Q1 - which means that production wafer starts should be beginning about now. On the otherhand, Q2 production suggests production wafer starts in Q1 - possible because of contamination or some other problems that take a long time to work out.
