Pearly Mutton - Re: "Do us all a favor and PUT A SHOTGUN IN YOUR MOUTH AND PULL THE TRIGGER.....IT'S OVER! YOU LOST! AMD K6-3 IS THE SUPERIOR CHIP....."

Look down below - at the RED showing AMD's price dropping today.

Couple that with the ZERO PCs introduced yesterday using the K63.

Factor in the SUPERIOR performance of the Pentium III over the K63 - especially the SSE/Katmai performance enhancements compared to 3DYesterday:

Then, think long and hard about WHY the K63 DawgMeat chip has to have its voltage jacked up 10% to 2.4 volts just to run at a mere 400 MHz - vs. 500 MHz and 1.8 volts for Intel's Pentium III

And what do you have?

AMD losing money.

This quarter.

Next quarter.

And, AMD's 3DNOW investment - going up in SMOKE !
