<Kash - re: Now they would be unlikely to run more than 50% wafers to K7.> Why? They can stop discounting k6-2s and allocate 65% wafers to K7 until they work through the Q2 inventory. That would give them 2M k6-2s output a quarter to support 1st tier customers. Kap.

kash, your numbers may be a touch high. From AMD: techweb.com K7 production should be in the tens of thousands of units during the second quarter, increasing to hundreds of thousands in the third quarter, all using the 0.25-micron process of AMD's Fab 25 in Austin, Texas, Sanders said. He said 0.18-micron chip production is on track for the fourth quarter, adding that Athlons using copper interconnects to increase their speed will arrive by the end of 2000. AMD tentatively expects 1 million K7s to ship during the 1999 calendar year. Cheers, Eric
