Ali, you are right that a customer would not pay more for a K6-3-XXX than for a Pentium II-XXX, even if the K6-3 at same MHz ran 10% faster.

If AMD/Intel parts run equally fast, AMD will discount it 25%.
If AMD part runs 10% faster (same MHz), AMD will discount it 15%.
If AMD part runs 25% faster (e.g., K6-2 vs. Celeron), AMD will sell at parity.

That's the marketplace and thats why it doesn't make sense to produce a 350 MHz Sharptooth. At most, it would sell for 20% more than the K6-2-350 and cost 20-30% more to make.
