Elmer, Since we can't get any decent yield estimates out of you Intelaffooons we'll just use the low 70's as a good starting point. Paul even said that that number was about right a while ago and that it is probably higher now. Do you have a more exact number? The slot one packaging does cost more doesn't it? Figuring cost is basically a relative thing. Depends on what you include in "cost". More important is that you figure the relative cost of the K6 and Celeron using the same cost factors. If you can do that, based on die size, relative yields (K6 gives up some here but the die size more than makes up for it) and packaging (costs more to package a celeron), the cost of a K6 is considerably less than a Celeron A. By my estimates it's cheaper by about a .7 ratio. Where the Celeron would cost 50 and the K6-2 would cost 35 or some ratio there of. Maxwell says 64 vs 45. This is also a .7 ratio. Jim
