Sigh. Mistranslation of their chinese article. "Athlon 64" != "K8" Furthermore, considering the source of their info (Taiwanese mobo makers), I suspect this is desktop Athlon64 only. Here's the Chinese version: Note the "Athlon 64", not "K8". digitimes.com.tw Doug

"A figure of 600K Athlon 64s is far below any estimates or projections that AMD has previously made for the chip, roughly half the previous lowest estimates, and about a tenth of what AMD was promising a year ago." I do hope that your reasonability checks for whatever your day job is preclude you from accepting as truth anything that is placed in front of you! One might be excused for thinking that you are being absolutely idiotic, once again, if you are assuming any validity to these numbers!
