Cringe - Re:"The only thing I know is they need $10,000 per wafer to break even. Is that a general rule of thumb for AMD, or only with the K6-2? "

Sounds like a general rule for AMD - ASSUMING that applies over their 5000 or 6000 wafers/week.

If they make $10,000/wafer on ,let's say, 3500 wafers/week, AMD's fixed overhead will NOT BE offset and they would most likely lose another ton of money.
