Re: "I'll grant you that AMD has encountered chipset delays that postponed expansion into new markets. But processor yield problems? Do you have access to pricewatch? Do you think that all those parts at all those speeds are available because AMD is having yield problems?"

Dan, I've done the math here so many times my fingers are sore. AMD continues to claim they can sell all the Athlons they can make and an analysis of their fab capacity says they can make far more Athlons than they are currently making if one assumes good yield. If we are to believe AMD, they have the fab capacity, they have the customers but they don't have enough Athlons.

Monica - Re: "Do you have access to pricewatch? Do you think that all those parts at all those speeds are available because AMD is having yield problems?"

Pricewatch has 30 vendors selling 1 GHz Pentium IIIs - Do you think that all those parts at all those speeds are available because Intel is having yield problems?

Lewinsky-Dan - Re: "Now that Intel has given up on GHZ+ parts and retargeted their process, yields are OK and supply (of midrange and low end parts) is in surplus."
But AMD's lineup for the next quarter includes 1GHZ, 1.1GHZ, 1.2GHZ, and "faster" and those low end and midrange chips Intel is finally yielding may not be worth much."

At the end of November, you may want to review your claims and your AMD standings.
