Anthony, Originally AMD targeted the K5 to compete head to head with the Pentium, design flaws caused it to greatly reduce the clock rate and therefore its competitiveness. As a result, they have been shipping product so slow, almost all products to date are less than or equal to 100MHz Pentium performance. This level of performance is below the slowest part that Intel is shipping. Hardly competitive. Since K5 fateful introduction, AMD came to realization what really was needed is more capable computer design experience than currently available at their AMD. They bought NexGen. With the K6, essentially a NexGen design, they hope to introduce a product that is significantly faster than any Intel Pentium with or without MMX and competitive with Pentium Pro performance. This is clearly new territory. Soon potential customers will be able to evaluate AMD's claims for themselves. Bob
