GF - <Had AMD executed correctly in manufacturing in 1997 during the initial ramp, the situation might be quite a bit different. The manufacturing stumbles weren't part of the business plan.>

This didn't help, but IMHO, it would not have changed things dramatically if they had executed more crisply.

I still buy the hubris thing. I believe they had the gall to publicly bally-hoo their price cuts because they didn't believe Intel would respond in either prices or product (Celeron).

Re: "Well, bad results don't mean it was a bad business plan. Had AMD executed correctly in manufacturing in 1997 during the initial ramp, the situation might be quite a bit different. The manufacturing stumbles weren't part of the business plan. "

That's precicely why it was a bad business plan. They pushed the process too far. They took too many high risk gambles. That's not smart business, that's just plain dumb.
