Technology Stocks : Intel Corporation (INTC) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Here's a sincere question from a non-technical type. It comes from my reading the Wall Street Journal article on AMD's problems.

Journal:The manufacturing problems stem from a design flaw that severely crimped AMD's production of its fastest K6-2 chips.

Question: How does a design flaw influence production? If AMD's designs were bad with the K6, why should we believe the K7 is any better?

Journal: At the same time, production difficulties limited the absolute number of chips AMD could manufacture at its wafer fabs.

Question: Has AMD ever NOT had production problems? Why would production with the K7 be any different?

I'm not trying to bash AMD but why should this time be different?

-Robert

Dear Srini: I hope that he is correct as I would hate to see INTC ruin it for both companies. JDN
