Scumbria - Re: " You have been saying that AMD loses money from each K6 that it sells. Perhaps your data is not correct?" It has been correct for 4 out of the last 5 quarters. This quarter, you have to address K6 profitability. Overall, AMD had $1 Million TOTAL earnings. However, they had $1.9 Million in income from FASL - independent of the K6 production/sales/overhead/etc. That implies that AMD LOST $900,000 on operations OTHER than FASL/Flash. So, realistically, AMD MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN PROFITABLE on K6 production this quarter. Paul
