Petz, >I again expect production to exceed sales. It takes a lot of chips to "fill up the > channel." But I'm not sure how AMD accounts for sales to the major OEM's. If AMD ships > 100,000 chips to Compaq, and Compaq has built 70,000 PC's >(so far) with these chips, has shipped 60,000 to warehouses and retail stores, and 40,000 > have sold to end users, how many of the 100,000 chips are counted in sales Good question. It may depend on how the OEMs book their sales - if they book systems leaving their shipping dock as a sale, then I guess AMD would book that as a sale too. I strongly suspect that AMD books it as a sale once the CPUs are in the systems. Goutama
