Re: "So they decided to build up a die inventory rather than sell them? Brilliant! Hold back your product until the price drops even further! I fail to see the logic in that." Think about it--if you have wafers rolling off the line in Austin every day and you ship them, say, once a week to Asia for packaging, its hard not to have a "die bank." Especially if your yield has suddenly increased dramatically and your packaging facility is working 24/7 and still can't process all the wafers. <gg> Kevin
