Elmer, Re: "A reliable source reports AMD dumped "millions" of Athlons at the end of Q3 for practically nothing in a desperate bid to meet already dismal expectations. This probably accounts for a large chunk of the low ASPs."

If this is true, then here's my question.

What are the buyers of these low cost processors going to do with them if demand is simply not there? Additionally, what's to stop AMD from repeating this pattern over and over again?

The belief originally was that if you stuff the market, it would come back to bite you the next quarter when inventories are filled, and buyers are simply uninterested in buying more processors at any cost. Why hasn't this happened yet to AMD, if it is true that they are dumping so many processors?
