Kevin, Robert Stead represents the European arm of AMD. Are you saying the remote branch has more knowledge over the corporate despite he being the company representative of European operations. This is a very classic example of left hand not knowing what right hand is doing. I recall the representative of AMD's Asian operations did predict K6 flooding the market to grab a 30% share of x86 business. This time it is the European's turn. The high yield rumor is very fishy indeed. AMD cannot straighten out their yield on 0.35um due to very aggressive design rules as Paul has pointed out. Now, the disproportionally smaller K6 die size on 0.25um does demonstrate even more aggressive implementations of design rules. I am afraid it all does not add up. It sounds like some major shareholder(s) of AMD is(are) trying to dump its(their) position(s). This is real technology not an episode of lawyers' fact-twisting debate. John.
