Well the Asian subsidiary is wholly owned, I believe, so whatever their holding awaiting sale back to AMD is still inventory and has to be valued at something. If its finished product, it probably has to be valued at expected sale price.

Maybe the best explanation for no growth in inventory is that the first generation or two of 0.13 output had extremely low yields or a circuit design problem. That would also explain why more Durons were sold than Athlons despite the complete absence of Duron desktops anywhere.

Consolidation would reverse such a "sale".
