Re: "Elmer, if you cut out the bulsh*t; the answer you are trying to give is Intel has not increased production 50 -90% on any chip."

Just what is it about this statement that you don't understand? "It is not physically possible for Intel to increase sales by 50-90%"

Re: "What unused fab? Dresden hasn't opened yet"

A classic statement, certain to be quoted again and again!!!! Are you trying to win the dumb statement of the year award?

Re: "Also from conference call tonight, Amd sold 1.2 million athys ; AMD produced 1.4 million Athys"

AMD had 200K left over from Q4. So that means that they have an additional 200K left over from Q1 for a total of 400K unsold Athlons. For the arithmetically impaired that's 200K+1.4Meg-1.2Meg = 400K, meaning that demand is not that great at the same time the competition is sold out, unless you can come up with a better explanation. An unused fab (after 3 1/2 years unopened=unused.... daaaaaah).

Re: "Yeah right Elmer. You certainly have a lot of nerve trying to say AMD's has a yield problem considering Intels glorious record the last 2 quarters. The bottom line is AMD produced 6.4 million chips from one fab. Intels number of chips/fab is far less than that. "

This is an ignorant statement. The facts speak for themselves. Intel has and does produce as many a 1 million CuMines from a single fab in one week when not even full capacity is devoted to CuMines. The yield problems are a fantasy of the AMDolts.

Re: "Of course; Intel switched capacity from PIII to Coppermine, and Intel was producing far more PIIIs back in the 3q-99 than Intel is producing Cuppermines now. Plus a die shrink from .25 to .18 should have resulted in a 30% increase of production; not a decrease if yields were good.
Combine that with the fact that Enterprise sales were slow in Jan and Feb. "

Another ignorant statement. Intel doesn't convert a fab over to a new process 100%. There are still many millions of Katmai processors and Celeron processors being manufactures in the same fabs. Why not wait for the earnings announcement next week to see how many processors they sold? I think you'll find the numbers make the Athlon volumes look pretty anemic and your statements look pretty dumb.

Re: "Intels claims of "demand is high; yield are good." are laughable; plus they seem to substantiate that you are indeed a liar"

Your statements show you are ignorant of the facts and have a poor understanding of the subject.

I am not knocking AMD here because they had the best quarter in their history and deserve credit. I'm knocking you for making ignorant statements.
