"What makes you think they can deliver volume? P4 above 1.5Ghz ia limited and 2.0Ghz is non-existent."

* Downgrading AMD to Sell from Hold based on our belief that current demand strength is more related to Intel P4 shortages rather than true demand for the Athlon XP.

Now that is funny...Record AMD units shipped and record AMD PC processor revenues in q4, and this guy has concocted the theory that twists such an outcome in such a dismal environment into a negativer for AMD...My goodness, if INTC can't with all the ballyhoo and hoopla around the P4 over the past 12 months, produce enough P4 to feed demand with all their fab space, one might more readily conclude that INTC is suffering very serious problems with the P4 launch...Either serious production problems exist or PC demand has increased phenomenally in q4 to enable absorption of the output of "the fastest ramp in INTC's history" and at the same time absorb record uniots of AMD's Athlon...My guess is the formewr, given that INTC is nowhere close to producing record units in q4...Such a crock from Prudential, imo...

* P4 shortages are likely to abate in Q1 and will likely lead to market share losses and/or ASP pressure for AMD for the next several quarters.

Is Mr. Gelsinger feeding this guy??? Sounds like the same tune we heard from him when P3 was bumping its head at 700 MHz...Did this Prudential guy miss the P3 fiasco 'cause the scripting has all the same earmarks...

* While we believe AMD has the smallest processor die sizes and excellent price/performance, our concern is in the company's likely inability to control its processor pricing segmentation model.

Once again, a major cost structure advantage by AMD has been twisted into an AMD negative...This guy'd be funny if it weren't for today's response to such quackery...

* We maintain our $10 price target.

he,he,he...

"Intel (INTC--$34.08; Buy)"

he, he, he

Summary: Did INTC give this guy a 1.4 gig P4 (trouble manufacturing anything faster???) to write such dribble???
