minnow68,
I saw a calculation by you:
epscontest.com
Considering both flash memory and high end CPU sales in Q2 may exceed the bottomline figure in your calculation, it seems the .15 odds to be $2.00 EPS is too conservative. I would put it at 50%.
As to market reaction, NASDAQ was at about 3700 on last earnings date and now we are at 4270, and a possible rally towards 4500 if tomorrow CPI is ok.
AMD traded at $76 after hour on the day of last Q earnings release, which is 66 x $1.15. I would assume AMD trades at least at this ratio when this time earning is out, considering current market condition and positive forward looking CC, so $2.00 gives a price of $132.
If we get $2.00 this Q, an $8.00 EPS for Y2000 is very likely, and taking 20 x 8.00 we would trade at $160.
Even if we get something like $1.80, I still see above 50% chance that we could see $120.

Mike,

Thanks for the info about the L2 cache. This story is quite different from the one Pete Gerassi posted, and a whole lot more palatable.

I'm not sure I agree with their decision not to do the L2 tag compare in parallel with the L1, but the high hit rate in the L1 may justify the power savings vs. performance tradeoff.

I guess the L2 isn't as bad as had been previously described on this thread.
