Ignoring the current bin split issues, the current supply situation makes me feel pretty upbeat about Q1. The worst case for AMD, barring unforeseen problems, is speed grade parity with Intel.

Ramping units in that environment can be great fun for the longs. The game has just begun!

Jim you would be very very surprised at what Intel's binsplit is to 733MHz.

Jim, re: <You can bet Intel isn't downbinning Floppermines from 650MHZ to 500MHZ. Anything Intel gets over 600 MHZ is like a treasure. <G>

Are they having similar problems as AMD has been having with K6-3? All the data related to Intel's problems with Coppermine, now clearly points to the on-chip cache.
