Bob, why do you think Intel is redsigning the PII.

If all they were doing was taking the L2 cache out of the module the PII die would not change (hence no redesign). I believe they will reduce the L1 cache substantially also.

This way they will have a super low cost chip, clock it at 250-300Mhz and have a segment zero player.

In absolute performance terms this may be a dog, however if you are a segment zero customer.....would you rather have a INTEL Pentium II running at 300 Mhz or something called a K6.

The regular customer is not sophisticated enough to care about PR ratings or cache rams Level 1 or level 2.

This is why the new GX 220 and soon to be born GX 250 in early 98 will be a hot players, the customers want Mhz etc.

Best regards,

Kash
