Brian,
To carry this roadmap speculation a little further, I expect the K6-3 to be faster than the current Pentium II by about 15%. Intel won't sit
on their hands however and I wouldn't be surprised to see a "Dixon" chip packaged for a desktop socket. We've seen what the 128k in die cache does for the Pentium II core (aka Celeron A) so I'd expect the Dixon with 256k in die cache to literally blow away (in X86 terms) a Pentium II and make up any gap between the Pentium II and the K6-3.
If Intel doesn't do this then AMD will eat more of their lunch.
Jim
