All, From Business Wire: "The outlook is brighter for our Computation Products Group," Sanders continued. "We have resolved the yield problems on the 0.35-micron process. More importantly, we have made excellent progress toward our top-priority goal of achieving a successful transition to 0.25-micron technology for AMD-K6 processors in Fab 25 in Austin, Texas. During the just-completed transition quarter, AMD-K6 unit production increased nominally over the 1.5 million units shipped in the immediate-prior quarter. More than 10 percent of unit shipments were 0.25-micron devices, including our first volume shipments of 300-megahertz AMD-K6 processors. "Conversion of production wafer starts to 0.25-micron technology is progressing well, and more than half of our Fab 25 wafer starts are now on 0.25-micron technology. We remain on target to convert all of our production to this technology by the end of the current quarter. Current production rates and yields have encouraged us to communicate to our present customers that we expect to produce substantially more AMD-K6 processors in a performance mix this quarter. Also, we are currently engaged in expanding our customer base to absorb the significant increases in output we plan for the second half of the year," Sanders concluded.
