Scumbria: The worlds best baseball players hit the ball about 1/3 of the time. AMD is batting over .500 for the past year. I see too many "errors". -Ritz

We already knew they'd post a loss. Maybe they're just writing off this quarter and staging for the next by: 1) Getting production of the K7 rolling earlier than expected (eating up capacity). 2) Devoting more fab space to K6-3 production. Earlier and more accelerated ramp of the K6-3 would actually cause units shipped to fall because of larger die size/lower yield. We'll know if this is the case if ASPs don't completely tank this quarter. Kevin

scum and all-- CNBC reports the traders are saying this is old news. duh. now, on this baseball analogy...dont use it, PLEASE!!! a missed baseball is a missed baseball. people dont lose jobs and investors dont lose money. a bad die shrink screws everything up. i guess the bottom line is that a missed ball is the same as any other missed ball, while some of AMDs mistakes have been MUCH larger. good luck to all, trey
