Design team leaving. That worries me. Do you or anyone have any idea what the turnover rate is? 25%, 10% of staff. What would be normal? K-6 design. You indicated that it was a great design, but they were overly aggressive in implementation. Yousef made the same point and says AMD is two to three years behind Intel in process technology. Is process technology basically manufacturing or is it design? I'm really struggling to understand this aspect of the business. Do you think that AMD has some (very few I'm sure) competitive advantages over Intel at this time. Is AMD losing more ground? Will they have a product to sell when Dresden is completed? I'M DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR EXCUSES TO HOLD THIS STOCK!!!
