Goutama re <<the low cost of manufacturing, the start of the Dresden fab production, Dresden ramp, and the extra capacity are far more important than the >1GHz stuff at this time. >>

Yes. Nice to see at least someone agrees with me here. The goal is to maximize profits, the goal is not to be ahead of INTC, as much as possible, in the MHz war.

In order to get the corporate accounts, AMD needs to show continued technological as well as financial improvements, not higher that 1 GHz CPU. AMD has been doing just that. I expect corporate SKU's from IBM will be announced by July 15th.

About 3 weeks left in this quarter. Q3 & Q4 are also looking very good. :)
