Scumbria,
RE:"I was sitting and thinking this morning about the state of the
x86 world, and here is what I came up with ......

1. The K6 family is not going over 400 MHz in volume anytime
soon.
2. PIII will hit 500MHz+ next month.

Adding 1+2 together, this means that K6(2/3) ASP's will be low,
and will not produce increased revenues.

Therefore, future revenue growth is completely dependent on
K7.
So, until some K7 info is available ..... I'm out."...

-----

You should have reasoned that out yesterday.
ASPs should rise, however, now that the mask problem is fixed, allowing good 450MHz yield. K6-3 will help ASPs as well, so I wouldn't
say all is dependent on the K7.
