Steve, <<AMD has been stockpiling 1000mhz Athlons, so they should announce NOW!>>

I am not convinced of that. It might be comforting to see AMD clearly ahead in the MHz race but I think that pushing up the speed too quickly would be destructive for the CPU market as a whole.

The bulk of AMD's revenue is still coming from the 500MHz range. Pushing Athlon too hard could cause overall revenues to drop.

Athlon is doing a great job of keeping Intel's pricing honest (no more celeron dumping) so that AMD can really milk the K6-2 cash cow while it still lives.
