I was slightly more diplomatic... see below:

Joseph,

Regarding this portion from your report:

"The cuts will be steep, brokers tell us. For instance, a mid-grade 850MHz
Athlon could drop by more than 50 percent from around $350 to $165, while
the low-end Duron 600 could move from $79 to $53."

You might want to cite the real source of this information. Brokers told you this? It sure looks like a report off theregister.co.uk, and it sure is funny that it contains the EXACT same MISTAKES!!! Come on! If you're going to copy a web site, make sure their numbers are right before you
publish the data. $350 is the current price of the 900 Mhz, not the 850. (The 850 was cut to $282 on Aug 14th, as AMD publicly announced.)

Though you must have it handy, the register website containing the very same mistakes and content that you published is:

theregister.co.uk

Would be good of you to at least correct the $282 / $350 pricing error on the Athlon 850.

Petz, also makes you wonder, do these 'assistants' write the analysis, as well?

And how much of the rest of this and other semi reports out of SSB are based on rehashed rumors from the register and other web sites?

Doug
