Re: "My point was that there is no way that AMD can ship "hundreds of thousands" of 400 MHz CPU's with yields of less than "1%". No matter what definition you use, they do not have the manufacturing capacity to make that many parts." Yes. Using the correct defintion of yield (which Yousef pointed out, and which, from his statement, Kumar clearly doesn't even understand) it would be even MORE difficult for AMD to ship hundreds of thousands of K6-2-400 chips in the fourth quarter than if one were to use Kumar's incorrect definition of yield. We now learn that a tier one will likely announce a product together with AMD's 400 MHz announcement. It is clear that this tier 1 is where AMD has been shipping the 400 MHz product it has (as described in the CC). However you cut it, Kumar is wrong. Furthermore, he is a MORON. He makes Stockman look like a Rhodes Scholar by comparison. Kevin
