Katmai DELAYED!!! According to this article news.com, Katmai was supposed to be released on February 28. Today an article came out infoworld.com that states Katmai will be released March 1!!! Is Intel having manufacturing problems? Maybe the extra L1 cache isn't working properly!!! Are yields low? Someone tell me! That day will cost Intel over a billion dollars! Heheh. I get sick and tired of people making a big deal about something small. This doesn't necessarily apply to this forum, but I see it happen in many places. How do you guys think the K6-3 will be positioned against Katmai? If Intel's marketing team spends the massive amount of money I expect them to, they will make KNI seem like it is THE thing. If the consumer is influenced by this, I expect the K6-3 to be 25% less than a same clock speed Katmai. If the K6-3 is faster than a same clock speed Katmai (which it may do) and consumers are influenced by benchmarks instead of KNI/3D NOW!, I expect AMD to price the K6-3 slightly lower than Katmai. In the price class the K6-3 and Katmai will be in, performance is key, although price does have a slight influence. What do y'all think?
