nice, <AMD has limited capacity in Austin of approx. 6 million microprocessors...>
I believe there is significant simplification here.
Besides the silicon manufacturing,
these processors need to be:
a) tested and packaged onto a ceramic substrate;
b) substrate soldered onto a SlotA card with two
chips of high-speed L2 cache (external vendors);
c) the processor card needs to be populated
with approximately two hundred other tiny
parts like bypass capacitors, strapping resistors,
and termination resistor arrays, on both sides
of the card.
d) each of this parts need to be supplied on time
from dozens of other vendors.

I wonder who is doing all this job. Delay or
capacity constraints on any of these steps might
dealy the final product, so things may be not
so simple.

Regards,
- Ali
