<<Intel knows its competitors are tougher than ever. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) is rapidly scaling up production of its K6 chip, a Pentium II alternative that sells for one-quarter the price. Isn't this incorrect? The K6, to my understanding, is a x686 type of architecture and will not compete with the Pentium II but rather the Pentium Pro, a chip INTC is practically giving away.>> Brian, The K-6 will compete against the Pentium II. AMD's goal is to sell the K-6 for 25% less than the Pentium II, not 1/4. I don't think they can do it though. Intel just announced another price cut last week. I sold all my AMD stock and put it in AMAT. Robbie
