AMD squawked big time over a 15,000 chip order and is now silent about sales an order of magnitude bigger? LOL
I have a feeling in January that AMD will be making excuses about shipping only 10s of thousands of Barcelonas in Q4 instead of the projected 100s of thousands. It's pretty obvious that tier one manufacturers are avoiding the currently buggy steppings. And despite that you make up, the vast majority of Opteron sales are through tier one manufacturers, not the channel.
