Scumbria Re: <First Elmer makes a baseless statement:
If Anand is right there still isn't a fully debugged K7.>

There is no, and never has been a fully debuged chip of any serious complexity.

<Then you expand upon it with some FUD:
If there isn't a debugged K7 now, how will boxmakers make products available for sale in June?>

The boxmakers, software developers, and chipset makers can design around most minor flaws.

We may or may not see production chips in June, but my current thinking is that K7 production at FAB25 will be less than 200K chips in Q3(I hope I'm wrong).

200K X $300 = $60,000K (call me light on both numbers, get to $200,000K) - chump change, but a good start.

The money won't start flowing 'till we get the 8, 16, 32, and 64 SMP designs in production.
