Jeff, Re: "AMD Chief Architect Vinod Dham Resigns" Nice "scoop" on some extremely important news ... this just shows how serious the yield problem is over at AMD. Here is an interesting article that was just posted on the Intel thread. techweb.com An excerpt: Vinod Vin Dham, the vice-president responsible for all of AMD's microprocessor products, abruptly resigned on Wednesday ... AMD watchers speculated that the resignation was directly tied to the company's manufacturing woes. As the executive responsible for overseeing the development and production of the company's flagship K6 microprocessor, Dham came under heavy pressure to wring more working chips from the company's fab lines, sources said. When AMD told analysts last Thursday that it would not meet its target of manufacturing 2 million K6s during the current fourth quarter, "we all began expecting something like this to happen," one analyst said." Make It So, Yousef
