<AMD has stated that yields have improved.> Do you have a reference? I don't mean to put you on the spot but I haven't seen it. <Prices on the fastest K6s are falling quickly, which some might construe as a supply effect.> Some may construe it as a demand effect. If the market for socket7 processors is about 20 million units per quarter and AMD can only produce ~1 million units, it seems clear that they need to lower their price to hold on to 5% market share. This sure sounds like demand controlled pricing to me. EP
