*AV*--RUMORS for your information.

1. AMD in Austin, TX has been having intermittent yield problems over the past few quarters. This has not
come as a surprise to anyone nor was it that big a secret. HOWEVER, the problem seems to have been finally
isolated to a specific cleaning process. Apparently previous attempts with DOE (Design of Experiments) was
not able to catch it since it was, after all, an intermittent problem. Well it seems that last week they finally found
the culprit and traced it back to a cleaning process. No guarantees that another problem is not uncovered but the
likelihood is very low. What are the odds of two problems occurring simultaneously and in the same identical
intermittent frequency."

I know may be just another rumor but Andrew Vance usually has good information. Thanks.
