John, the K6 is unlikely to go away anytime soon. There are still new design wins (I believe Cobalt was the latest) and it may be that the K6 will be pushed into the Internet Appliance/Webpad market that Hector seems to like, unless the newly announced discussions between Transmeta and AMD yield something surprising. If the K6 survives a possible AMD/Transmeta deal, then it will acquire a northbridge and other things that are helpful in that market. It wouldn't be a bad choice, imagine how cheap it could be at 0.13 micron... AMD has already stated that the K6-x volumes will not be material by Q4 this year. If they keep selling less than a million at sub $30 prices and total uP volumes are ~9+ million then who cares about K6! TG
