"Design enhancements to increase the yield of higher-speed versions of the AMD-K6®-2 processor with 3DNow!(TM) technology have been successfully implemented," said W.J. Sanders, chairman and chief executive officer of AMD. "We will not, however, realize the benefits of the change in production output until the back half of the current quarter. "In the light of Intel's recent pull-in of its February 28 price reductions to February 8, and pending product announcements, we are re-assessing our competitive response. The likely outcome is that in spite of the planned richer mix, we will be unable to increase our microprocessor average selling prices in the current quarter. This will put additional pressure on our gross margins. In the face of planned R&D spending on technology development through the Motorola alliance and at our new Dresden megafab, the company could incur an operating loss in the current quarter," Sanders concluded. About AMD AMD is a global supplier of integrated circuits for the personal and networked computer and communications markets. AMD produces processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices, and products for communications and networking applications.

greg, well said about Paul's diarrhea of the keyboard on this thread. He is really an automaton. If you mention the word "profit" in a post he automatically replies with a rehash of Intel's earnings for the last gazillion years. If you talk about market share, he auto-replies with ASP's and profits. If you talk about he future, he talks about the past. He has a database of unfavorable AMD news which he cyclically repeats like clockwork whenever anyone posts positive news. Basically, you can determine exactly what pAUL is going to say be reading the RE: line in the index, so why bother reading them? Lets lobby the webmistress for a NEXT-ex-pAUL button at the top of every post. Petz
