Elmer, Re: inventory You are making a complete fool of yourself on this issue. Why don't you just quit while you are ... err ... behind. Joe

Imagine yourself going into a store and asking to buy something and having the clerk say "I'm sorry I can't sell you anything. I'm all sold out. All I have is inventory in the back room". Intel sold their inventory, that's why they don't have any, or at least very little. But AMD is building it???? A brain dead poster on this thread has been trying to sell this story but it just doesn't wash. You guys will believe anything Jerry says. Inventory is certainly desireable but when you have unfilled demand from customers with cash in fist you don't hold back your product so you can "build inventory". You sell it. Inventory = unsold product. EP, Your statement is not necessarily correct. When product supplies are tight, companies hold back inventory for their favored customers ala Intel for Dell. If another, sometime customer places an order, they would be told the current inventory is committed (even if it isn't). To say AMD can't sell its product because it had 250 K chips on hand denies that possibility. And now with the announcement that AMD is sold out for this quarter, the probability that that possibility is the reality has increased. Besides, AMD is not Intel.....if there were a problem, the analysts/main line press would have found out by now and and exposed the problem. Further 250 K is hardly a big inventory of chips. So like someone else said, your argument is specious...give it up. ted
