Bonefish -
I don't understand the need for this hostility. Why don't you handle your investments as you see fit and I'll handle mine. I'm not speculating on your track record so please keep your speculation about mine to yourself.
EP
Wouldn't surprise me in the least. And the Intel bag holders will still be arguing process technology.
Then I assume you're short this market, right?
Some of us look beyond the end of our noses and can see a time where technology spending picks up again. It would be wise to understand who stands to gain when that time comes. Maybe you're just a trader but some of us are investors.
EP
You can double check
Allright, I believe it. Time to shut this thread down. There's already an AMD thread here so there's no need for this one.
EP
My name is Mani Ahmadi and I started the thread on SI. However I did NOT start this thread here and I have nothing to do with it. Someone started this thread and is posting under my name. I just found out about this because Bob (formerly employed by SI) send me a PM on SI. Whoever is posting under my name please stop. I have already contacted Bob about this.
Why should we believe you are who you say you are? Perhaps you are the imposter and the original Mani is the real one?
If this moderator shows the same double standards shown on the SI thread them we will know he is the real one. He has already warned me about a post yet allowed AMD supporters who post much more objectionable material a free pass. That tells me he is the real Mani and you are the imposter.
EP
Elmer, what do you think this BW piece will do for AMD share prices tomorrow? Can you see an entry point?
I am no good at predicting market prices but in my opinion AMD is done for, however there is no predicting how some people will interpret things. There are some who will still believe AMD is kicking butt and heading for the moooooooooooooon. Some people here still believe AMD is gaining market share. Go figure.

The upstart's soon-to-be launched Clawhammer chip, while a step forward, may not be enough to keep pace with the giant
I've got to comment on this statement. There is nothing whatsoever to substantiate this claim other than AMD hype, and considering AMD's continuous failure to perform, I give it all the credibility it deserves (zero).
EP
Elmer, where did that come from? An attribution or link would be appreciated.

Intel Is Kicking Silicon at AMD
The upstart's soon-to-be launched Clawhammer chip, while a step forward, may not be enough to keep pace with the giant
Intel executives still remember well the fall of 1999. That's when the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer (INTC ) began to lose part of its stronghold on personal computer chips. To Intel's surprise, a much-smaller competitor, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD ) unveiled its Athlon family of chips that, based on several independent tests, offered better performance.
From 1999 to 2001, AMD increased its global market share for PC processors by 8 percentage points, from 13% to 21%, according to tech consultancy IDC. Intel's piece, meanwhile, shrunk from 84% in 1999 to 79% in 2001. AMD also picked up some share from smaller rivals such as Cyrix, which later became part of VIA Technologies.
That defeat doesn't carry quite the same sting for Intel today, even though AMD intends to ship its Clawhammer chip, said to be as revolutionary as the first Athlon, in the first quarter of 2003. "Hammer will have the strongest performance on the market," says Mark Bode, a marketing manager at AMD. Despite the enhanced competition, Intel may not falter this time. It plans to keep AMD at bay with lower-cost chips and price cuts. In a reversal of fortune, the clouds over AMD are thickening, and a better chip might not dispel them.
UNEXPECTED DELAY. AMD has lost money for five consecutive quarters and will continue to post losses throughout 2003, predicts John Geraghty, an analyst with Gerard Klauer Mattison. And that dour forecast assumes that Clawhammer will be a hit and that PC market, flat this year, grows 13% in 2003.
Yet there's no guarantee that Clawhammer will be as popular as the first Athlon or whether demand for it will be strong. Without explanation, AMD announced on Sept. 12, that it was going to delay Clawhammer's anticipated 2002 rollout. It also put off a processor called Barton -- a souped-up Athlon. Industry insiders worry that Clawhammer could be faulty or that it might not work properly with the surrounding components. "Not true," says Bode. "The product is great."
Still, AMD is betting big on the success of Clawhammer. Losses from existing products have eroded the chipmaker's financial health in the past year. On June 30, the Sunnyvale (Calif.) company had $1.1 billion in cash -- enough at the current burn rate to last one year. "Our cash position -- we are not concerned about that," says Drew Prairie, an AMD spokesperson. But its financial obligations are daunting. AMD has $2.31 billion in debt. Half of that is long term, with $207.9 million due in 2003, according to a company filing.
BEHIND THE CURVE? PC sales are expected to be sluggish in 2003, increasing by 8%, according to analysts from IDC. "Regardless of the [market] growth that occurs, there's still room for us to grow," says Prairie. Yet that will be hard to do, given the standing of its chief and much larger rival, Intel.
Though affected by the PC slowdown, Intel is profitable and has $11.6 billion in cash and equivalents. It has invested in new production processes in the past year, making AMD seem behind the curve. With greater economies of scale and new gear, Intel's chips are not only becoming cheaper to make but are often even cheaper to make AMD's offerings. By constantly introducing new, pricier chips, Intel is managing to keep its margins high -- even while slashing prices of older products quarterly. AMD has had to follow suit to remain competitive.
Yet unlike Intel, AMD can't turn a profit while making price cuts. Because its processors are better known, Intel commands a 30% to 40% premium over AMD's chips, according to Michael McConnell, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities. Intel also has been methodically pumping out new, more expensive processors, while AMD is waiting for Clawhammer to take the world by storm next year.
Thus, from the third quarter of 2001 to the same quarter of 2002, Intel's average selling price of a chip should rise from $150 to $160, while AMD's will drop from $58 to $55 -- or less, estimates Jonathan Joseph, an analyst with Salomon Smith Barney.
COMFORTABLE LEAD. That puts tremendous pressure on AMD's bottom line (AMD declined to comment on its return to profitability). Intel's margins still reach 47%, but AMD's gross margins dropped from 35% in the first quarter, to an all-time low of 7% in the second quarter, according to Lehman Brothers. It's unclear how AMD will be able to make any money, agree most analysts. With limited resources, it might not be able to fight a losing battle forever.
Clearly, market dynamics have changed. When PC shipments grew at 20% a year, both Intel and AMD could increase revenue without stealing each other's customers. Even as it lost market share, Intel hiked its revenue 14%, from $29.4 billion in 1999 to $33.7 billion in 2000. But with the market flat or growing at less than 10% a year, Intel, where PC processors contribute 100% of profits, must grow through market-share gains, says Mark Grossman, an analyst with SG Cowen Securities.
Intel's PC processor market share has grown by 2.6 percentage points, to 81.9%, in the second quarter, according to IDC. And the giant should enjoy further gains in 2002. "I'd be surprised if AMD can sustain [its] market share during the rest of the year," says Shane Rau, an analyst with IDC. In fact, most experts believe Intel could grab 90% of the market -- or more -- eventually.
"LIKE A TOY." "If AMD has trouble making money with 20% of the market, imagine what it would be like when it's 10%," says David Wu, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities. AMD's Prairie counters: "We are generally maintaining our position in the most difficult economic environment our industry ever faced."
If Intel keeps gaining share, does antitrust become a concern? Not necessarily. "In the current Administration, [antitrust] actions are less likely," says Sophia Koropeckyj, director of industry economics at researcher Economy.com. Intel isn't likely to have have antitrust issues as long as smaller competitors -- such as Taiwan's VIA Technologies -- stick around. And no evidence indicates that Intel is doing anything illegal to stifle competition, she says.
Intel "plays with AMD like a toy," says Brian Matas, vice-president for research at semiconductor consultancy IC Insights. Not that AMD is giving up. On Sept. 16, when Intel launched its new ad campaign costing tens of millions of dollars, AMD kicked off its "AMD Me" campaign, its largest marketing effort to date. For AMD, "it's all going to depend on Hammer," says Joseph Osha, an analyst with Merrill Lynch.
FASTER, FASTER. The upstart has its loyalists. Hans Mosesmann, an analyst with Prudential Securities, rates AMD stock a buy, believing that Clawhammer will lift the shares, now trading at 70% of book value. Mosesmann is in a minority, however.
Analysts point out that Intel is rolling out new products aggressively, too. It has the fastest processor on the market. By yearend, it'll release an even faster, 3-gigahertz Pentium IV and will have a 1-gigahertz advantage over AMD, estimates McConnell of Pacific Crest Securities. Intel should introduce its next-generation desktop-computer processor, Prescott, in mid-2003. "Our business goal is to deliver the best performance possible," says Brian Fravel, desktop marketing manager at Intel.
With Intel setting such a blistering pace, even Clawhammer may not be able to help AMD keep up.

How many times can Intel stuff the channel? Joe Osha says that Intel stuffs the channel almost every single quarter, yet I haven't seen any sharp decline in processor shipments, or any huge complaints from their customers - things that I'd expect if what you say is true.
It was AMD who said last quarter that their shipments were down in part due to customers having over stocked inventories. Isn't that channel stuffing?

AMD gains ground in sluggish market
Does it really matter? Intel will make money and AMD will lose money. That's the way it's been and that's the way it will continue. When things eventually turn around Intel will be in a far better position than AMD to take advantage of it.

PRESS RELEASE: Intel Unveils Low-Voltage Processor >INTC
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 2002--Intel Corporation today unveiled the latest addition to its embedded processor roadmap -- the Low Voltage Intel(R) Pentium(R) III processor at 933 MHz -- for use by communications equipment manufacturers in high-density blade systems.
The processor comes in a uFCBGA package, the latest packaging technology from Intel for smaller systems such as high-density servers.
The processor is featured on the high-density, single-slot Intel NetStructure(TM) ZT 5524 System Master Processor Board which is available in either single or dual-processor configurations. The ZT 5524 is a PCI Industrial Manufacturers Group(a) (PICMG) 2.16-compliant packet-switched board and offers communication equipment manufactures redundant host support, providing high performance coupled with high availability.
With dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and an optional dual PMC mezzanine, the ZT 5524 is designed specifically for telecom servers, broadband access servers, telecom switches and mobile base station controllers. Intel is also offering board vendors, at no cost, the schematics for building a standards-based PICMG 2.16-compliant board with a Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor.
"Intel is committed to delivering high-performance, low-power, standards-based building blocks for communications equipment makers at multiple levels of integration," said Joe Jensen, general manager, Embedded Intel Architecture Division. "For customers that want a highly integrated solution that allows them to get to market more quickly, we offer complete boards like the ZT 5524. For other customers that want to design the board themselves, we provide schematics and other tools to ease the implementation of cutting-edge processors like the Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor."
Capable of running embedded applications such as security, telephony, storage and wireless base station controllers, the Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor has a maximum power dissipation of 12.2 watts. The lower wattage enables the processor to decrease the overall thermal dissipation of the system so that it can operate under restricted heat and space constraints. Like all processors in Intel's embedded processor family, the Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor comes with extended product lifecycle support.
The Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor contains 512 KB of on-chip level two cache memory and supports a 133 MHz system bus. The processor is produced on Intel's 0.13-micron manufacturing process, an advanced process that enables lower voltages. The processor is validated with the Intel 815E2 chipset, and can be configured with third-party chipsets for dual-processing implementations.
The Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor at 933 MHz is available now from Intel for $273 in one-thousand unit quantities. The ZT 5524 is available from Intel for $2,695. In addition, boards in PICMG 2.16 and other form factors featuring the Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processor are now available from AAEON, Advantech, Kontron and other major OEMs. Boards from Force Computers will be available later this year. System pricing varies by manufacturer. About Intel
Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com/pressroom.
whose post was deleted and what did it say?
I sure hope this thread doesn't get too trigger happy with deleting posts. I agree that extreme posts have no place here but there has to be some tolerence for strong opinions. The "ignore" filter works just fine.
EP
The last post you made on SI was deleted by the SI administrator. Here's a response to it by a thread member.
Yes I see that and I'm surprised. There was nothing vulgar or terribly offensive in it. I remember asking for someone to alert the Intel thread when Mani was no longer the "moderator". I remember using the wording "gone off to his great reward" meaning his wedding and retirement from protecting his buddies and persecuting the Intel posters. Perhaps it was misinterpreted to mean something sinister but it was not my intent. SI admin never said a word to me about it.
So, perhaps you could prove me incorrect by posting on SI. I'd appreciate it.
Can't do that. My account was terminated for what "Jeff" said was posting under multiple other aliases, a claim that is patently false but he offered no explanation whatsoever. The activity here picked up dramatically immediately afterwards. That guy Jeff is a real genius.
Also, that usuck fellow knows enough to at least call it SRAM rather than DRAM. Surprisingly, Semi doesn't know the difference.
I'll let SEMI defend his own posts but usuck clearly doesn't understand that foundries offer mediocre performance and that means low ASPs for AMD. Meanwhile UMC has to make a profit too so costs are higher. With bad yields, poor performance and high costs AMD is in the same boat as they are with their own fab.
Do yourself a favor and dump any shares you may have.
BTW, I believe you would be better off using another alias. You are claiming to be the Chairman of the Board of a Company that is relevant to this industry. You are acting as an imposter and that is no doubt a violation of the rules.
EP
Weren't you thrown off Silicon Investor for foul language? I think that might make you the greater fool.
Nope. Guess you're the greater fool now.
EP
usuck ---
Wake up, they've been making "good stuff" for many fabless players over the years! I'm fairly certain it wasn't DRAM, son.
If they don't get it right someone on that side of the pond will do it. It's all about costs - labor, materials, the list is long, but low cost is where the chips will be. Anti Jerk-Off Patrol
Stick to areas where you know something. This obviously isn't one of them. AMD needs either stellar performance or rockbottom cost. They aren't going to get either one from either a foundry or their own fab. That's why it's lights out for AMD.
BTW, you should clean up your language. You're making a fool out of yourself.

Re: "I think the problems are deeper." And what makes you think that?
Poor choice of words on my part. I should have said more extensive, not deeper. Bad yields and poor scaling seem to have plagued AMD for a long time now. SOI is just one more problem and 9 metal layers don't help any either.

The thing is, do they have a choice, financially?
No they don't have a choice but fortunately their customers do.

AMD's decision to outsource one of the flagship products is a huge error, IMO. And where is their "plan B", if this totally fails?
I think that was plan B. Without money to build anotyher fab, if demand was so great for Hammer that they couldn't supply the market from FAB30 them outsourcing was the fallback solution.

I think it's some kind of a bridging fault.

There you have it.
There you have what AMD is willing to admit to today. I think the problems are deeper. Nevertheless, this has been pretty obvious for a long time.

SUNW cracks me up.
The Inquirer has a new article where Sun Microsystems unveils that they have begun work on the UltraSparc VII - that's 7.
As we've discussed before, SUNW is in the same position as AMD. They have nothing to market except for hype. The only question now is who do they think they're kidding? The OEMs know SUNW & AMD are in the toilet so who do they expect to buy the BS? Are they playing to analysts who don't know the difference? I can't think of anyone else who can't see right through them.
EP
It was a Huge amount of labor and tool downtime, and even then, the Bin-1 (Highest Speed) Yields were..... less than desireable. Pure speculation of course, but I wonder if the same thing is happening at AMD?
My take is that there aren't any bin1s or likely 2s or 3s.

Re: You´ve seen how "great" that has worked at SI. Anyway, I got the impression that this thread would suffer the same fate before it has actually started. I just wanted to make that very clear, and will never post like that again. You have any AMD related information? Please post it here.
I thought "ignore" worked rather well on SI. Now if I can just get it to work here I can add the offending party to my list and be done with it.
As for AMD's market share, I will be extremely surprised is their share does anything but plummit. They are done for, in my opinion.
