Yousef,

What's your thinking on thw 400Mhz K6's.

Will they happen or are they vaporware.

Also, allegedly these are K-3 with non-working caches.

What do you see as the split between a good K-3, dead cache but good K-6, and a completely dead chip.

It would appear to me that this ratio would be very unpredictable and could lead to delivery problems. Unless these can be probed and then you could have K-3's packaged as 400Mhz K6-2's if the shortage is at the K6 end.

Also as the die size on the k-3 is much larger, one should see the net die per wafer being reduced. Do you know if Fab-25 is running flat out in terms of wafer starts or wether it is still ramping up. I could see how they would ramp up to 4.5-5M K6's from Q3. But with the much larger die of K-3 thrown into the mix, this whole equations seems very confusing to me.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Regards,

Kash
