<Isn't profit the difference between revenues and costs? You didn't include any consideration of costs in your analysis. By all accounts, yields are up.>

That doesn't mean costs are down at all. Yield is just the amount of output you get from a given amount of input, i.e. costs.

AMD may be cutting costs in other areas, like the Vantis sale or the 300 employees who will soon be getting the axe. But as AMD gears up for the K7, and as it desperately tries to ramp up the K6-III, I believe that costs in its MPU operations may even go up this quarter. That means that overall, Q2 costs should be holding steady.
