Re: "The company's future doesn't rest on the K7's shoulders anymore, it lies on Fab 30's in Dresden." No the company's future lies with flash and communications. With these two divisions the only profitable divisions and the prospects of exceptionally high demand and profitability, it's possible they MAY make up for the huge loss in the processor division and allow AMD to post a break even or small profit. In short, a disgracefull performance from the flagship K7. The real question is how successful this company would be if it weren't burdened with a disasterious loser in the entire microprocessor division. In fact, AMD has never posted a profit from any processor they have ever designed and this quarter the extraordinary demand for Flash just may mask the perpetual losses from that division. Just how successful could AMD have been if they had dumped that loser a couple of $Billion$ ago? EP
