Petz - Re: "The fact that the ARE talking is proof that the yield problem.... ISN'T anymore."

Your analyses have shown that AMD could produce up to 65 million K6's (more or less) per year from Fab 25 ALONE - assuming there are no yield problems.

If there were no yield problems, it follows that AMD would not need help from IBM to meet K6 demand.

Now, is AMD experiencing a demand greater than 65 million K6's per year?

Hardly!

The IBM deal is required PRECISLEY BECAUSE AMD has an ongoing, as yet unsolved yield problem.

Pure and simple logic.
