The amount that AMD took out for taxes this year (I think) were 0%, 0%, 20%, and 20%. In 2001, it'll be more like 30% across the board. Something like that, at least.

Aditionally, analysts prefer to predict that the next upcoming Intel processor will force AMD into the extreme low end. So the projected numbers you see may or may not be somewhat pessimistic.
