Q4 definitely stronger, but Intel is also guiding for 11% sequential growth in Q3, which is not too shabby.

IMO, conference call not great. They are now saying they are cutting back on wafer starts. The margin and inventory issues are linked, because some of the COGS from Q1 and Q2 are now sitting in inventory as an "asset". As inventory is worked off, these costs are released, and there is an under-absorbtion of costs over fewer wafer starts. So this is where the inventory becomes an issue.
