Mani,

Re: "I say that AMD's process does not guarantee a smooth ramp of K6-III at
0.25. Considering the current yields of the k62, it is simply not worth
the risk. Pretty simple."

But Mani ... As AMD waits on their K6-III ramp, the ASP of their K62
keeps falling. I say that with the larger die size of the K6-III, lower
speeds than a K62, and no performance advantage ... Why would AMD produce
the K6-III at all. AMD is just waiting to HYPE the K7, which is even larger
in die size with various "reports" on performance ... Now, that is what I
call "taking some risk".

Make It So,
Yousef
