Joe,

The servers represent high margin biz growing rapidly.

AMD promised 2 way AThlons in Q4 99.

It now looks like they will be close to 1yr late.

Intel MISCUED with cascades and xeons have been dogshit slow.

AMD had a significant oppty in 2 way servers which has been blown.

There is no 2 ways about it.

Intel ships around 1M server chips/qtr at an average ASP of $1000 ++

They probably make $800 net on each one they sell or close to 50% of Intels operating profits.

Until AMD plays in this arena Intel has a major profit source to subsidize its desktop offerings. And this is critical on building a long term viable biz that is somewhat impervious to Intel attack.

regards,

Kash
