Chuck - RE: "Doesn't make any sense to not preannounce if they do $1 in earnings as I suspect they will."

Hmm, $1.

I was very surprised with the $897M breakeven this Q. I think AMD has a better chance of a 1B revenue quarter than a $1 quarter. But $1 per share depends on how many fewer K6-x AMD sells, how many Athlons AMD sells, and what Athlons ASPs are.

I am confident Athons shipments will be higher than Q4, especially since Gateway and HP have jumped on the boat. But I'm not so sure about K6-x shipments because it is Q1. And Athlon ASPs in Q4 were much lower than I was expecting so I'm not sure what to expect in Q1.
