Who cares if AMD has a new super chip if they can't make chips in the first place. OEM customers (Boxmakers) and the street probably won't be impressed by any new product announcements as the bottom line issue is production yield. It is astounding that a modern day high tech company has gone on so long without achieving manufacturing improvements of any apparent consequence. What would be the situation if General Motors couldn't deliver cars for 8 months ( at over 40 % yield that is) or if Seagate couldn't produce disk drives under the same circumstances - yes a few weeks of teething pains on a new product is one thing but persistent inability for nearly a year is another story. Boy would we love to have the truth on the current factory situation Mike C
