Dear Priest: A few months ago you gave an idea of getting higher MHz on the K6-2 by jacking up the voltage. Apparently AMD got your idea. Check out AMD_INSIDE posting from yahoo thread. If he is correct then watch for the 450MHz soon. messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com <<2) AMD is about to announce a K6-2/450. They will up the core voltage to 2.3 volts instead of 2.2 volts and with that small bump can easily yield 450MHz devices. This announcement will be coming any day now. The ASP on this processor will be over $200. 3)AMD is on target for a February introduction of the K6-3/400 processor with several major OEMs. The K6-3/400 has already been shown to outperform the PentiumII-450 by 8 - 12% depending on the benchmark. This processor will be initially targeted at the commercial market segment. And you know who the big players are in that segment don't you (Compaq, Dell, Gateway, IBM, Micron). AMD will probably launch K6-3 with at least 3 of these leading players in February. Since the commercial segment is less price sensitive, AMD's initial ASPs for the K6-3 will be in the $300 range (much higher than the current $100 ASP model).>> Look like AMD may be once again can escape beyond the "event of horizon" of Intel Black Hole.
