John,

Re: "Kash, do you suppose that Intel would have been so deeply asleep at the wheel that we would have ignored our suppliers in our Y2K compliancy efforts? If you had an ~$8B money printing machine in your backyard do you think you'd ignore your paper suppliers?"

As I understand it Intel hasn't been the problem here.
In fact they together with the other US/European semi companies have been very pro-active on Y2K.

The problem is that the Japanese suppliers have not been very pro-active at all.

The good news is that their is plenty of WIP anyway and if something happens, supply van be ramped up in a few months.

PS Was the stock dump related to to the Rambus fiasco or simply Dan Niles waffling on the numbers.

Kash

Regards,

Kash
