Scot, your post gave me an idea about AMD's segmentation strategy: Petz: <<I don't understand the huge gap between 650 and 700 MHz ($299 to $499), but then again, these single vendor prices are like futures prices and are subject to change>> Scot:<One comment...perhaps the pricing on the lower-bin Athlons is to gap the absence of comparably-bined k6-2+s. Until AMD releases the new core, the k6-2+ must continue to play its role in the segmentation strategy. But the 'sweet spot' (credits to GTW) is probably 500-650mhz this Q. The k6-2+ will initially bin at 533...right? This way AMD can maintain a "priced-based" segmentation strategy until the new branded Athlon core is released......is this Spitfire or Thunderbird....I can't remember which...> I think I figured out the price gap between the 650 and the 700. Possibly, the low-end Athlon, whatever its called will only be sold from 550 to 650 MHz, or it may slightly overlap the K6-2+ on the bottom and the copper Athlon on the top, and go from 500 to 700 MHz.
