Elmer, <AMD has never made a thin dime (overall) on any processor they have ever designed.> I'm still reminded of Atiq Raza's quote (paraphrased), "Profits are a good deodorant, but we stink." I think AMD's booming Flash business could be serving as that deodorant right now, at least during the time span between now and Fab 30's ramp-up. A lot of AMD's potential to break even this quarter rests on the boom in Flash. Of course, flash is hardly a topic that comes up on this thread, since people are too focused on discussing Coppermine and Athlon. Yeah, I know, AMD's future rests on Athlon, but still. Tenchusatsu
