Cirrus,
That explains a little more about the Japanese pictures.
The K7 is running at 500MHz, The K6-3 at 400MHz..and the mention of the Pentium II 450 was a comparison unit. Looks like the Notebooks may have been the K6-3 vs the desktop Pentium II...
Might also explain why there is no rush to get the K6-3 out since it runs basically at the same speed as the K6-2....and why the AMD guy mentioned that it was optimized for performance....not MHz. Sounds like a PR rating apology to me but we knew that's what AMD would run into since the K6-3 and 2 are the same core and process...so they will have to find another way to market it rather than cpu speed...
We knew that too...

Jim
