Re:"I am not in the business but I can't believe its normal for them to take 18-24 months to get a chip to full volume. Maybe I am wrong but it sounds rediculous."

The Athlon was introduced 16 months ago, and its unit volume is still less than that of the K6.

It does indeed take 18 to 24 months for a new generation to replace the prior generation as the volume leader, in units.
