From a $0.15 profit in Q4 to $-0.19 project this quarter, I would say AMD cooked the book last quarter to make things not to look as bad as it did. Of course, they were hoping Q1 would not as bad as first conceived, and they were wrong.

Merlo - Re: "Why is AMD seeing RED? For one the tremendous cost of bringing up the new German .018 micron super Fab."

Super FAB ?

Now who declared it a "super FAB" ?

The same hypesters that declared MegaFlop 25 a MEGA FAB?

By the way - how does the cost of SOOPER DOOOPER Fab 30 factor in to LOWER Selling Prices of K6-2s and the fact that AMD has had yield problems in making 400 MHz K6-2s and the fact that Sharpy Eye K6-3 is one quarter late?
