<Depends on what the problem is with the K6-III. If it's the L2 cache then that shouldn't effect the K7 for a while because the L2 on the first K7s will be off die, for quite some time.>

An on-die L2 cache will be less likely to cause yield problems because of redundancy. Most of the K7's die size is due to additional logic to support its nine execution units, plus an oversized 128K L1 cache.

In other words, if AMD has problems cranking out the K6-III in sufficient quantities, it's apparent that the K7 will run into the same problems.
