" RE:"Re: "I've already thought about that. As far as I know the mask problem was fixed 6 weeks ago." Well Jim, let's look at what you have said ... If AMD fixed this problem 6 weeks ago (early Dec), then the fix must have been identified and verified on silicon at least 10-14 weeks (fab time for 1st fixed silicon) before early December. This would mean that AMD knew about this back in the middle of September. I seriously doubt this. Jim, your made up story is not holding together ... THINK MAN !!!" ---- I didn't say when they identified it I said when it was supposedly fixed. Supposedly 6 weeks ago. So 6 weeks ago they started the new wafers. Isn't this the way it works? 10 weeks from when they start the wafer? I'd have to talk you to be able to unwind all the logistics of it. Jim
