Mani, <I strongly think that very close to 100% of all wafer starts are 0.18. 100% of Athlon's being produced are now at 0.18.> OK, the second sentence I believe, mainly because Sanders said so. But the first? If AMD is trying to meet higher-than-expected low-end demand, where are all the K6-2's coming from? There is no 0.18u K6-2 yet, and I believe that the K6-2+ is supposed to be the first 0.18u K6 processor, but that hasn't been released yet. I think although Athlon volumes may be ramping nicely, the majority of wafer starts are still 0.25u and dedicated toward K6-2 production. This is the only way AMD can meet strong low-end demand until K6-2+ is released. And this paints a more realistic picture than a "sudden shift to 100% 0.18u." Tenchusatsu
