Yousef, RE:" So far in the past year, AMD has not even come close to becoming the low cost producer with die size. Jim, you just don't understand the Fab business. One question for you, Jim ... Why is AMD having such a hard time getting to 333mhz and 350mhz K6-2's ?? You know if AMD doesn't get these speeds real soon, then AMD ASP's will fall well below $100.00 ... This would be a disaster for AMD." ---- Correction, I do not think AMD is the low cost producer at this time. But like you said...they have that die size advantage...so they have a chance especially with recent yields. Where are the 350s? Your point is very valid. AMD needs it very soon in lieu of Intels price cuts. Rest assured, this is a priority and AMD has attached a rocket to it. Jim
