Maverick - Sharpy's SLIPPING, Sharpy's SLIPPING

What is going on at AMD, Mav' ol' buddy?

Cherry Sanders promised us all a Sharptooth in 1998 !

According to this article, AMD has SLIPPED THE SHarpy schedule into next year?

Can you get some Inside Information to tell us why this schedule has slipped so much?

I mean, like WOW, Maverick - this slippage is as bad as the 6 month Merced slippage - but the Merced is a whole new Architecture?

How could AMD have dropped the ball on a chip that simply bolts a 256K cache onto the K6-2"

Tell me how they did this, Maverick!

Like, WOW - even Intel's DIXON has been shipping to selected customers for over a month now, Maverick, and it also has 256K cache bolted onto a Pentium II.

The chip, known as Sharptooth, will debut early next year, Meyer said. It will have 256KB of on-chip Level 2 cache. Earlier road maps had shown the processor shipping late this year.
