AMD is nowhere close to being the #2 Semiconductor Supplier. They are not even in the top 10. I do not have the final 2001 rankings in front of me but in 2000, they were number 16.
Looks like AMD has done a "wonderful" job of "pushing" themselves down even further than #3 ... AMD's slips on their products and process have given them "what they deserve". I think we will get a better "feel" for that later today. <ggg>
