Elmer, > "Re:The yield numbers ~150/300 are quite frankly piss poor yield. I >thought they could do better than that." Elmer you are absolutely correct they can do better. And think with fab capacity of 5K wafers/week at MEGAFAB 25 this translates to only 10 MILLION units per quarter. Scary isn't it, poor yields(only 50%) and costs in $45 range(packaged/tested). And poor old AMD will only be making 50% margin on these K6-2's next year. Also another SCARY thought ANOTHER MEGAFAB ready to turn on next year with capacity of 20K wafers/month. Just imagine what these LOUSY AMD guys could do if the put some old INTEL guys in charge. Hold that thought.......another SCARY thought Elmer........ATIQ..... Regards, Kash
