Re"Plain and simple, why would AMD want to clear out existing inventory of Athlons without an on die L2?"

Jim,

Elmer just doesn't want to belive that this price cut could be a case of "out with the old in with the new" to make room for the expected Dresden ramp.

Re: "Plain and simple, why would AMD want to clear out existing inventory of Athlons without an on die L2?"

Is this a serious question? Are you really asking why AMD would want to sell inventory that is worthless if it sits on the shelf, or are you hinting that AMD is clearing the way for the successor? Is your inside information from the same guy who told you that Willamette was being delayed?
