McJimbo - Re: "So some people here report that AMDs yields are good and they are making a lot of chips but because they didn't get the other side of the story, they are made to look bad. " One person got the story exactly right - about (at the time of the post) a MILLION UNSOLD KDAWG 62's. Nobody here - you included - believed him. Everybody believed that Hero Sanders was gaining market share, delivering up oodles of KMART 63's, and polishing up the LaughALON for a BLOWOUT introduction with all the major OEMs's standing up for their HERO-BUDDY Sanders in support of this mystery chip !

Jim, Re: "I agree with Engel on this...if AMD screws this one up, it will be the laughing stock of Silicon Valley." You'd better get ready for that to happen, Jim ... The Cu Dresden process is not going well, the released CPU's (K6-2/K6-3) aren't selling, and the K7 is slipping. The quarterly losses are mounting ... BTW, your earlier Q1/Q2 earnings prediction also made you look like an AMD "genius". <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
