Brian,

Re: "You also conveniently leave out the fact that K6 is much more complex chip
with 8.8M transistors and K6-2 with 9.3M , this has some bearing on the clock
speed that is achievable ."

I have always stated that AMD's .25um process provides for more density
than Intel's .25um process. The problem is that AMD's process performance
is "comparable" to Intel's previous generation of IC process ... I have
always been very consistent on these points. In regards to your comments,
since AMD's K6/K6-2 has so many more FET's than Intel's PII then why do
benchmarks show the PII to outperform the K6 at the same speed ??
... Seems like AMD is not getting any benefit from additional FET's, eh Brian ??

Make It So,
Yousef
