When will this happen?

Unfortunately probably not until Intel has 400/350/333 MHz PIIs shipping, also with 100 MHz buses. Around middle of '98 somewhere.

How is the K7 advancing?
<<
Well AMD hasn't said much other than it's on track for early '99. But their track record for delivering on time is spotty...

Does anyone have a K6 in their computer.
<<
Me and several million other people.

How does it compare with the Pentium (same clock) or PII?
<<
Close. Most benchmarks show it a bit slower.

Is AMD still having Yield problems.
<<
There hasn't been any official word from AMD since they last acknowledged the yield problems. But there are indications that they have improved (1. lower prices for K6 233 on the spot market, 2. Raza comment in recent interview that yields are "a lot" better than 25%).
