Well, +2% with a 16% standard deviation is hardly comforting. /Petz

In fact, looking at the past 4 years, it is even more positive, with the downside limited to the current guidance: Year Q1 CPG revenue as a % of previous Q4 2004 (to 571 from 581) 98.3% (-1.7%) 2003 (to 468 from 420) 111.4% (+11.4%) 2002 (to 684 from 703) 97.3% (-2.7%) 2001 (to 661 from 566) 116.8% (+16.8%) I can't find 2000 and 1999, but they must have been quite negative to account for Petz's average results. Given the strength of the market in those two years, this is likely a reflection of an incredible consumer surge in Q4 for AMD in those times. Doug p.s. Wow. AMD had CPG revs of 703M in Q4 01. The problem at that time was flash: revs of 196M (!) down from 411M in Q1 01.
