GVT - <Can anyone verify that 2nd paragraph?

To me, it seems to be a mistake, because in the long run it meant that another door was opened to AMD.>

I have no window on this aspect of the business. I can neither confirm or deny any distribution / allocation issues, even if I wanted to (which I don't).

I will say that if this was true, overall capacity certainly plays a functional role in this type of situation. Intel warned at the beginning of the Q that supplies were strained across the product line. It would be nice to just snap fingers and have some extra available capacity when a customer needs a certain amount of certain parts. Unfortunately, it's not nearly that easy, possibly bringing about situations as with GTW.

Again, I don't know anything about the GTW allocation problems, other than what I read in the press.

You bring up a valid point about the GTW thing. However, so does the CSFB analyst w.r.t. to product positioning, and also what products does one choose to sell when one is capacity constrained.

I don't have the easy answer.
