But this doesn't work, because at the rate clock speeds are going up the shipment would lose almost half its value in that period of time. (3 months) Or maybe it would work at a company whose clock speeds aren't going up very fast, but that wouldn't be AMD!

Eric,

I don't think clock speeds are that big an issue because for the newer, higher clock speeds the percentage of overall sales will be fairly small for probably the first 4-6 months.

However I forgot the point that Harry made...that is, that AMD does not count a chip sold until it is sold in a PC by an OEM.
