Yougang, if AMD can pull it off, the K6-3 might actually ship at 450+MHz. The idea would be to position the K6-3 as a separate class of processor that competes with the Pentium-III and commands a significant premium to the K6-2. It would do wonders for their ASPs and competitive position. It would also help position the K-7 as a super-premium processor.

AMD could disable the extra cache on any units with defective L2 cache or speed dropouts and sell them as K6-2/400s. It's a great strategy IF they can yield at 450/500MHz.
