AMD's real problem is to tune the design to the technology

AMD's problem is to tune the design to the technology.


Yeah, just as BAD HARDWARE found. K10h (K10 in hurry) is actually 45nm design in mind and its actual 65nm version is only its crippled, slowed down bastard. Intel was that one responsible who has screwed AMD's initial plans with its Core launch. Beside,
AMD said its "Spider" platform is on track to launch in November. Spider will combine Phenom processors, RD790 chipsets, and RV670 graphics processors, so the statement essentially confirms that both Phenom and the RV670 are due next month.
The problem isn't yields, which Meyer said are "right where we expected them to be."
The company expects Barcelona to become widely available by the middle of this quarter.

Well, seems that fast production ramping will solve the yield problems by the middle of this quarter. AMD had two problems, one of them is to be solved soon, and the last one introducing 45nm somewhere in 2008. Thats all folks.
