AMD K6-2-400MHz On Track for Q4!

cbs.marketwatch.com

"Shares of Advanced Micro Devices rose 8.3 percent after analysts at Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette reiterated their "buy" rating on the company. Analysts Charles Boucher and Christopher Bunn said strong third-quarter sales strength gives the company (AMD) "a fighting
chance to break-even." Furthermore, the analysts believe the company is on track to ship 400 MHz microprocessors in the fourth quarter to compete with Intel Corp. A 450 MHz processor is due in the first quarter of 1999. Boucher and Bunn set a 12-month price target of $32 a share. AMD shares rose 1 1/4 to 16 3/8."

Let me remind everyone including many Intelabees on this thread expect AMD will lose ($0.18) to ($0.20). Break-even is beating expectation by $0.20 and is excellent. Also Kumar think AMD can't make K6-2-350MHz in any volume and will miss the Christmas season with the 400MHz. Our process expert Yousef thinks AMD can deliver the 400MHz parts by Nov. 1, 1998. I agree with him. Things are looking up.

Yousef,

So lets look at how AMD and Intel stock has done since mid-1994 -->

Exactly. The big Pentium FDIV bug was an even bigger embarassment to Intel than any of the points that Maxwell rattled off. Yet Intel emerged from the FDIV fiasco with flying colors.
