Petz,

Those K6-3 benchmarks sure do look great. The Intellafoons were bitching about benchmarks and the Katmai sure looks terrible. And your estimates on performance were pretty close by the way.

PS. Did anyone verify if the new K6-2 core is really a K6-3 with cache disabled as was rumoured a few weeks back.

If that was the case then chances for 400Mhz K6-3's in Q1 look pretty good IMHO.

As far as fab. capacity, I think rest of fab.25 is being equipped for 0.18 micron. They will have 0.18 with AL interconnect running K6-3 in Fab 25 and 0.18 with Cu running K7 in Dresden.

If they can execute in Dresden then 750-800Mhz K7's might be realistic by year end.

Should be a rocking 99 for AMD.

All ze best,

Kash
