Re: Re: higher 1Q AMD sales from the low end

I haven't seen mentioned anywhere the source of these additional sales. Has AMD increased their production capacity

Remember, the K6-2 is 81mm2 at .25, and it's a will known design that isn't hard to manufacture - so they can get close to 300 out of an 8 inch wafer. So AMD can get 5 million K6-2's per quarter using less than 25% of FAB 25's capacity.

Athlon at .18 is 102mm2 - limiting them to about 250 per wafer.

FAB 25 could produce 10 million K6-2's and still produce more than 8 million Athlon die (even at 50% yields, that's 4 million chips)
