In the high end desktop market? More than from OEMs? Nope. While servers, yes, are high revenue. And server BD was scheduled for Q3 and it appears to be on track, so no problems there (hopefully).
I was referring to the alleged production capacity constraints.
In this field, they are making more money on a 300$ chip than Llano, as its going to be priced a lot less.If you can allot 100% of your production capacity, you choose the ones on which you make more $ per square milimeter dont you ?
BD chips are going to cost 250-300$, while Llano is athlon x4 with onboard gpu, we dont have exact die sizes, but for Llano cpu part should be around 100mm2 and looking at the die size another 100mm2 for the gpu, so 200mm2, and BD is rumoured around 250mm2 , so Llano is not much smaller (~25%) but will be priced a lot less.Thats my line of thinking.
