TT, I believe it was stated that yield problems have been rectified in their press release. I take that to mean that yields at least are better. Also shipments were on the high side of expectations. Even the AMD bulls had 2.7M as high side. Regards, Kash

Time Traveler - Re: "the AMD volume ramp-up this quarter is due to shift into 0.25um from 0.35um, due to the fact that the die size shrinks by half migrating down to smaller feature size. " I think you are correct. The per centage yield probably has remained the same over the past 3 quarters - and across the 0.35 and 0.25 micron processes: 1.5 million (Q497 - 0.35 micron), 1.5 million (Q198 - 0.35 micron) and 2.7 million (Q@98, mostly 0.25 micron). The 2.7 million seems to be the result of the smaller die size only - NOT improved PER CENTAGE YIELDS. Paul
