John, <Just asking the question, not sure raising prices is the answer for AMD. I'm looking ahead, and unless there is a dramatic change in the marketplace, it's probable that AMD will again start to lose money. And burn cash. > Anything is possible but I predict things will be better in Q3 primarily due to the extremely competitive laptop product lineup and secondarily due to seasonal uptick. <All the conditions that made AMD successful over the last year or so seem to be coming to an end. > Mostly. <I wondering where they go from here.> Focus on getting corporate design wins and pray that the next generation product does not slip anymore. <(Generally speaking, I would rather sell 100 widgets and make $10. than sell 200 widgets and lose $10.) > Generally speaking, I agree.
