Joe,

re:"But you are assuming that they will miss. The estimates are not that high at 33 cents. Just FYI, these were the results of last 4 quarters:
Q1 2000 0.29
Q2 2000 0.57
Q3 2000 0.62
Q4 2000 0.55"

The estimates are very HIGH for 2 reasons.

1. They are after tax. So .33 is equivalent to .50 untaxed.

2. Almost all their profits in Q4 were from flash.

Flash profits are gonna start disappearing and by year end flash may be losing money.

FYI, I see more PIV systems than Durons at my local stores and that is worrying as well.

Coupled with no laptops, no servers and no low end solution, coupled with eroding flash market: i suspect AMD may have problems hitting .33.

regards,

Kash

<< Q1 2000 0.29
Q2 2000 0.57
Q3 2000 0.62
Q4 2000 0.55 >>

They had $1.15 per split in Q1 last year, so I don't know where the .29 is coming from.

RE:"If they have say 1.466 GHz Palomino, why not release it NOW"

It's clear. They don't have it. Desktop or Laptop.
Apparently Palomino will be released at 1.533 GHz. which means we are yet to see 2 more speed grades of
T-bird. 1.4 and 1.466. Could take a couple more months for that. Maybe notebook Palomino is sooner than that.
