In context
“hings should benefit us. One, we improve our supply, ergo, that should improve our revenue picture. On top of that, Panther Lake's cost structure gets better and better. Look, we talked about the incremental improvement every month, we're going to see in yields. We're working on the throughput as well. So those 2 things combined, that should help in terms of cost structure and make this more of an accretive product to us as opposed to a diluted product. And I think that will be a lot of what is the story around gross margins for the year. There's still mix and mix can go in any different direction depending on how things play out. But what we're largely focused on for the kind of the next 12 months is driving the cost structure of these products that we're building to improve the margins. We know that 34.5% is by no means an acceptable level of gross margins. And we're actively working it, first to get it to 40% and then once we get it there, we'll move to a new target. Operator: And our next question comes from the line of Tim Arcuri from UBS. Timothy Arcuri: Dave, I'm wondering in the guidance, you're guiding to $12.2 billion, but I'm wondering if you can kind of pro forma that for us like if you could meet all the demand, what would the kind of unconstrained guidance be for March? David Zinsner: Yes. It's a squishy figure to figure out, Tim, but I would tell you that if you look at kind of that $12.2 billion relative to the $13.7 billion we posted in the fourth quarter, and look at normal seasonality. It's in the range of seasonal but it's at the low end of that range of seasonal. We'd be well above seasonal if we had all the revenue or supply, I should say, to hit the revenue. John Pitzer: Tim, do you have a follow-up? Timothy Arcuri: I do, thanks. L”
