I remember it as well, and I remember saying to myself "BS"

The discussion here lately about AMD yields has been an attempt to show that AMD's claims can not all be true. They can not (have good yields) and (be capacity constrained) and (ship only 7.7 million units). At least one has to be a known false statement. While the 7.7 million is probably true the false statement must be between the "good yields" or "capacity constrained". You must make a major adjustment to one or both of those to make the 7.7 million work out. Paul has shown that if you believe the capacity constrained claim the yields must be in the 27% range, which are a disaster. Others have suggested major restrictions on capacity. I have theorized that bad binsplit could be the explanation. One of us has to be pretty close to correct.

When a executive of a major corporation makes a known false statement to analysts that has a material affect on company performance, there should be consequences.

Joe, <But when you enter Clintonian logic, ... you can float a statement about being capacity limited, and not be lying outright.>

I don't see your point. You can use Clintonian logic to twist ANY lie into a statement that isn't "technically" a lie.

Hence my fascination with the infamous Clintonism, "It all depends on what your definition of 'is' is."
