Xy - RE: "AMD failed miserably in 4th quarter 1998, the once in many year quarter with strong PC demand, especially low-end PC category. "

So you think AMD was a failure in the 4th Q of '98?

Do you consider an almost 50% rise in CPU sales a failure?

Do you consider a 1500% earnings rise a failure?

Do you consider the gaining of marketshare a failure?

Do you consider over 20% of the retail notebook arena a failure?

Do you consider having a greater marketshare in the "low-end PC category", as you stated, than Intel a failure?

The failures of AMD include the inability to correctly make chips, and the stupidity of management. The first failure should be over in a few weeks. Who knows how long the second one will last...
