Tenchusatsu Re <<Let's say AMD currently has 15% market share. They're aiming for 30% in 2001. But if the total market for PC's grows by 20%, then a mere doubling of capacity means that AMD will end up with 25% market share by 2001. Not a bad figure at all, but certainly below the original goal of 30%.>>

How about the conversion from .25 to .18, that increases capacity by more than the total market growth, is that right ?

RE: <<Ted, read my post again. I was never said the guy was being conservative. Rather, I said that the guy was using erroneous problem-solving to look "conservative.">>

You are right, I misunderstood what you saying. Rereading Bixler's comments in the article, it looks like he didn't do the math....just assumed that doubling capacity meant doubling market share.

He will be gone by COB tomorrow. In the new AMD no one can make a mistake!!
