"No 10 cents coming from Atmel chip sales to Lenovo. IMHO. I will be embarrassed if I am wrong and boy do I hope I am wrong."


I disagree.

The pdf file that taxivader referenced specifically mentions the Atmel 97SC3203 which is part of the Atmel 97SC32xx family referred to in the Atmel/Wave PR.

PS From the 3rd Q CC:

Kitchen: Can you say how many ten percent customers you had in the quarter?



SKS: How may ten percent customers I had in the quarter. In other words, how many customers represented ten percent or more of my sales volume?



Kitchen: Yes.



SKS: I don't know that we've publicly disclosed that. So I probably need to verify what we're publicly disclosing on that. What I want to be a little bit careful with is in early stages we only have a few customers in the market, doing something that indicates that the volume is specific from entity versus the other, I really don't want to get into a position where I'm articulating any specific customers actual volumes because that would be outside the scope of our agreements.



Kitchen: Can you say whether you generated any revenues from either Atmel, the Fiserv deal, or from Winbond?



SKS: I have generated revenue from some of those, not all of them. How about that?
