Ben Anixter: Commmuncation : 10% increase over Q1 in Q2 Memory group : 30% increase Jerry Sanders: wont fight price war we can not win No unit and sale growth in K6x K7 key for growth Profitability depends on K7 alone 100s of K in Q3 K7 system next month highly confident to make more than 1 million K7 in Q4 (note, No agregation) continue postive relationship with Atiq (read a nice statement to Atiq, same as the release) Q&A: Need more than 5 million MPU to return to profitibility Realistic to assume early 2000 to achieve overall profitibility K7 8% below comparalbe Intel PIII 0.18 K7 in Q4 Coper K6 from Fab 30 (Jerry returned from Dresdon yesterday) Copper K7 appear in first part of 2000.
