AMD's phenomenal growth may be the wild card. ====== A company statement below from 2 months ago AMD said the company remains on track to achieve its previously stated goal of shipping 3.6 million AMD seventh-generation processors, including the AMD Athlon[tm] and the AMD Duron[tm] processors, in the current quarter. "The PC market outlook is strong," said Anixter. "We plan to meet our goal of doubling shipments of seventh-generation PC processors to 3.6 million units in the third quarter, and again doubling shipments to 7.2 million units in the fourth quarter. We plan to commence volume shipments of 1.1-gigahertz AMD Athlon processors in the current quarter, with higher-speed devices to follow in the fourth quarter." Anixter said the company expects that total PC processor shipments, including AMD-K6® -2, AMD Athlon, and AMD Duron processors, could approach 7 million units this quarter and 9 million units in the fourth quarter. "We are very pleased with the excellent progress we are making as we ramp production in our newest manufacturing facility, Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany. We expect that Fab 30 will contribute significantly to sales in the second half of this year as we substantially increase the availability of 1-GHz and faster versions of the AMD Athlon processor," Anixter concluded.
