Yousef - Re: "the K6 was introduced on April 2, 1997 at 166mhz, 200mhz and 233mhz. At this time, the K6 was as fast or faster than any announced Intel processor. "

This is a very good point - totally "LOST" by the AMD cognescenti !

Yes, Jerry Sanders was blowing his horn on April 2, 1997 - I was there - I heard him ! I remember what he shouted that morning :

{====================}

AMD is BACK, We are FASTER THAN INTEL.

We Have The Products !

We Have The People !

The Profits Will Follow !

{=====================}

He wasn't too specific, however, about when the profits would follow.

Good thing !
