What do you folks think about a Vantis spin-off? It looks like AMD is getting ready to spin-off Vantis, at least according to the latest news from AMD. This should provide quite a bit of money to pay off the large amount of debt AMD has. How else could AMD benefit from spinning-off Vantis?

Ail - Re: " the AMD K6-2 is and WILL BE the biggest fishbone in Intel's throat." Sure Ail, Sure. Sound like all dem fishbones dun got stuck in Jerry's throat. $22 million profit on 5.5 million CPUs. But if AMD can just DOUBLE PRODUCTION with another $1.5 BILLION FAB, they can get up to $44 million/profit/quarter. Hey - screwdriver man - can you compute Return On Investment ? Do it ! Paul
