Some info on K6-2 losing market share in the retail desktop market (AMD continues to gain market share in the laptop segment as people know but laptop numbers are smaller)

infobeads.com

I had better expectations for the K6-2 ASPs but after $60 ASPs in Q2, the erosion in market share, and the imminent arrival of Whitney, it is not too difficult to see that K6-2 is an end-of-life product except probably in the laptop segment.

The delays in introducing new K6-3 speed grades is not comforting. Unless AMD can quickly exploit Intel's slip in moving to 180nm and get some higher speed grade K6-3s to the market to position against the PIIIs, the K6 family is pretty much dead.
