PB,

AMD has taken a very aggressive approach to manufacturing which has caused some delays, but also has allowed them to ramp their clock speeds much faster than Intel.

To give you an idea of how fast their ramp has been- 8 months ago I reported that IBM had manufactured some sample 400 Mhz K6 parts, and was laughed at hysterically by Mr's. Engel and Yousef who informed me that K6 wasn't going to get much past 300 Mhz.

Today they passed Intel's PII clock speeds and will soon deliver a 600 MHz 0.25u part.
