Petz - Re: "There will be abundant K6-2-400's and 450's in early February."

AMD's problem is that Intel has ABUNDANT 400 and 450 MHz Celerons and Pentium II's NOW - TODAY.

And PC customers need CPU products TODAY if they want to ship products.

Now, when AMD does get their volumes up (as well as their SUPPLY VOLTAGES !), the ASPs will be EVEN LOWER.

Factor that in to your enthusiasm.

And don't forget - 500 MHz Pentium IIIs may already be going out to Intel's customers in preparation for the March 1 launch.

I have a sneaky feeling that the 500 MHz Pentium III customers will NOT be confined to a single PC maker for shipment into the Japanese market only !
