survivin:

Q3 GM's were 64%. Current guidance is 63% +/- 1%, which I don't think means +1%. Looks to me like eroding margins and declining CGains will account for a decline by close to $400 to $500 million in net income...Not too bad, considering they are up against that giant new force AMD!!!

I doubt that writeoffs are included in the calculation of GM, but I'm guessing only. John Petzinger would know the answer.

By the way, the market seems to be digesting the INTC news fairly well...As someone earlier commented, perhaps this marks the tech market capitulation...Now let's get heading back to a Nas of 5500!!!

I'm trying to determine how GM's can remain stable when their sweet spot has been
stagnant during a period where asps are under tremendous pressure.


I suspect that Intel is not fully biting AMD's price cuts...I hope AMD is not mortgaging a (hopefully) brighter future to make the quarter.
