<<It may well be that they sold most everything they could make, just at huge discounts because they couldn't place it with tier 1 oems. That would limit the potential claims a lot.>>

<It would also explain canceled orders because why would an OEM go with a design that AMD couldn't supply in volume?>

No, remember the millions of chips sold to South America, and, another time, Avnet, at ~$15 each?

If AMD sold "everything they could make," how do you explain that production magically increased 10% every 4th quarter and decreased 25% every 2nd quarter?

Also, in the decline from 2000 to 2002, AMD announced once or twice that they had too much inventory.
