<<AMD produced 1 million Athlons in Q4. They distributed 900k of them and sold 800k. The 'missing' 200k Athlons might be the 900MHz and 1GHz ones ...>> reply from brushwud: <They produced 100K more than they shipped, so those were in inventory at the close of the quarter. And they shipped 100K more than they sold, so those wound up in stock at distributors.> <They only count sales to distis when the parts sell-through.> Ahh... So that might be because then the money comes in minus the disti's margin, or otherwise because the distis have the some kind of option to send processors back? The first reason would make it easier for AMD to do it's regular price cuts without getting into problems with it's distis. Anyway the 200k number should be 100k. Thank you for the correction. Hans
