Chuck,

You wrote "So, in the times when you are capacity constrained, you are making an argument for letting chips sit on the shelf because the marketing group made the mistake of introducing a $2000 ASP part into a consumer segment that typically wants to pay $600 for the whole system and where systems over $2000 have become rare?"

Yes, I would rather have some chips sit on the shelf. There is feedback. If AMD introduces a 1.5 Ghz T-bird at $5,000, AMD will see what the demand is. AMD can always remark the parts and sell them at lower speed grades. IOW, parts never have to sit on the shelf more than a few weeks. But, if 1.5 Ghz T-birds are production quality and ready, then why not put them up for sale at $5,000?

Even a sell rate of 1000 a week would bring in an incredible amount of money.
