Re: "Frankly the issue with the K6-3's methinks was the dumb cache design without redundancy giving poor yields. Hopefully AMD has learnt this lesson well."

I think you meant to say without enough redundancy, as was claimed in an article published a few weeks ago. If true, and I think it is, this says that AMD does have problems with large integrated caches. In fact their defect density on sram arrays was worse then their models predicted. The low speeds achieved by the K63 also says they are having problems solving what are probably noise coupling issues, imho.
