Vince,

<<One of the cool things about Athlon roadmap was Jerry talking about 1.5G by Jan>

A MAJOR point, and although he referred to the roadmap as if it was common knowledge, I don't think I have seen that claim before.>

Yes, to my knowledge this is the first time such a claim has been made.

< Wonder if the analysts understood the implication.>

I am sure a some of them did but most of the lightweights probably didn't pick it up.

<T-Birds from Austin! >

This tells me that Fab25 is capable of spitting out more product than I thought it did. Also, this is a low risk way of getting Athlon to market while cutting costs (eliminates SRAMs and modules)

<Maybe we'll see the Cumine-killers in April after all.>

April is possible but I wonder about the volumes. By saying, Thunderbirds will come in Slot-A initially to exploit current infrastructure, Jerry has tacitly acknowledged there is motherboard problem. I currently view the motherboard situation as the only serious red flag going forward.
