Yousef,

When an analyst goes after Intel, he is an idiot. When he goes after AMD, he is a genius. Just ask anyone on the Intel thread.

Yousef,

From same article:

AMD said the manufacturing problem is now solved and it also achieved high manufacturing yields of its K6 processors running at 400 and 450 megahertz.

''Demand for our desktop and mobile products remains strong,'' Raza said in a statement. ''We plan to ship a minimum of five million units in the second quarter and believe we will meet our goal of shipping 20 to 25 million microprocessors this year.''

AMD also said that it has begun production of its next generation microprocessor, the K7 and that it is scheduled for introduction in June.

''The true savior for AMD will be the K7,'' said Kumar. ''The question is when and if they will execute on that.''

Different product areas in AMD.

In the article Yousef refered us to:
dailynews.yahoo.com

''Some projects and product areas are going to be curtailed or eliminated, but we are not prepared to talk about that yet,'' Allen said.

Does anyone have a breakdown of how the various different product areas within AMD are doing? I occasionally wonder what the company would be worth if they gave up on processors and focused on other areas.
