This is from Monday but further evidence that good times are going to continue for AMD.

"TAIPEI, June 5 (Reuters) - U.S. microprocessor maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) said on Monday it was discussing capacity expansion plans with a partner as customer orders continued to pile in after its best-ever quarter.

"Demand is very high," said Hector Ruiz, AMD's president and chief operating officer. "We are pushing our fabs (wafer fabrication plants) to the wall.

"We are moving to expand capacity but it involves sensitive talks with partners so I am not prepared to give details," Ruiz told Reuters in an interview in Taipei.

Ten,

that must be a lot of unsold 1 GHz systems you must be tripping over. Isn't AMD supposed to be sold out for this quarter? But hey, let's not get into that argument again.

Is this one of those "the glass is completely full vs. I don't like what the glass contains" things?

Nice FUD!

4 fabs to one is your weak argument. PB promised months ago that we'd be flooded.

I can't even find a Piii 800Mhz in the Home of the Willamette.
