Charles,

Re:"bin splits"

I ahve no idea.

All i know is that AMD is playing a cat and mouse game which is OK.

Apparently they can ship faster parts than the forthcoming 850's and 900's.

And the superbowl is the time to STRUT your stuff - assuming you have something to strut.

They can price the chips in the $1200-1500 range and systems in the $3000 range if they want - to avoid selling too many and cannibalizing 700/750/800 systems.

My only point is that IF they can really ship 900-1Ghz units- they should.

It would help the market perception of AMD dramatically as a technology LEADER as opposed to an Intel copycat.

As this is not going to happen - seems like Jerry has fumbled a major opportunity.

regards,

Kash

Re: "I don't think the bin-splits out of Austin are not sufficient to do a 1G launch now "

And your basis for this claim is what?
