Maverick... RE"AMD has nearly quadrupled the K6 yield for 300 MHZ plus K6s, according to several reliable, confidential sources. This news will eventually be announced in an analyst conference call shortly after the same high yield is repeatedly duplicated for several hundred more lots. AMD R&D engineers have found problems hindering the yield in masking steps for metal layer photoresists." Two questions... What 300 MHz parts and what yield did they quadruple? Did they go from 1% to 4%? 10% to 40%??? What is AMDs current yield on 300 Mhz parts? or 266s for that matter? Obviously not enough to ship any K6-266s to anyone but IBM and Compaq or any 300s to anyone. Let me in on the cutting edge here...if things are really changing...please. Jim
