Kash,

Let's assume that the k6-3 runs at 350 Mhz right now, but otherwise is ready to ship..... The reality is that MegaHerz sells, and the sharpy may well get delayed again if AMD finds it's easier to ship 400/450Mhz K6-2's in Q1 99 than say a 400Mhz Sharpy.

If K6-3 runs slower than K6-2, that is a serious technical issue which must be resolved before production. "There are 14.3 miles of undiscovered caves in Wind Cave, S.D."

I have watched this scenario too many times. Functional x86 silicon does not guarantee a successful product.
