Again I don't dispute the fact that AMD lost money in Q4. But if they lost money with each chip and where trying to make up for it in volume then they would have lost less if they had sold half as many chips. This is not true even if the ASPs would have been up. Is this a slow enough explanation for you?

I guess I'm slow. Just how do you know it isn't true? I say AMD has terrible yields and they lose money on each low yielding wafer they start. Start fewer wafers, lose less money.

Tim,

Funniest thing about the article wasn't the AMD beat the SouthPulp, but the achievement that the SouthPulp finished compiling a kernel without crashing! I do wonder though if they installed the newly compiled kernel and checked if it was operational?

Make it so,
