Yes, Let's be realistic about AMD. The last chip they came up with was the K5 and that was late and basically a failure. The K6 was a Nexgen design, AMD basically had to buy that technology, now they have yield problems. I don't think AMD has the capability to design a good K7 chip and get it to yield in any amount of time... They might make some money before the K6 plays out but after the K6...they are in deep doo doo. Jim

My personal guess is that we may say bye bye to AMD in 1998 . Maybe, maybe not...think of all the other firms that have risen from the ashes when people were writing them off, and you will see a long line, Chrysler and USAir foremost in my mind. But the fat lady may be clearing her throat in AMD's case if they don't get it in gear.
