Have you seen the indications that the real problem with K10 is its performance in virtualization ? With performance penalty of 50% with the TLB BIOS patch ? It seems to me to be confirmed from AMD's evasive response. It also appears consistent with them saying HPC work is not adversely affected.

If it turns out that current production K10 is unsuited for virtualization, pretty much all sales of K10 will stop until the issue is actually fixed in the silicon.

I think my estimate of -800m was optimistic. (on the AMD favorable side).

Regarding stock price, there is still more to be expected from year-end tax loss selling.
