RE:"I still don't understand where the idea that AMD had "production
problems" came from. The K6 family has moved up in MHz at a
remarkable rate, well above the industry average."...

Earth to Scumbria. AMD had to dump 800k-1 million, CXT core, AFR66 chips (300/333) for $35-40 that were supposed to be 350 and higher.
These were supposed to go to Gateway, IBM, HP etc as high speed chips.
The good news is that they didn't have to dump them in the trash can. The bad news is that ASPs went in the dumper because of it.
Look for them in an E-MACHINE in a retail outlet near your in the very near future. Bet on it...
