<Nope. My fault. You clearly stated "had". I guess I somewhat fail to see the relevance of the comparison though. Intel didn't have to try to ramp the Pentium to >400MHz. AMD did have to try and ramp the K6 to beyond 400. >

I was trying to say that k6 just like p5 was not designed
for hi Mhz.

<..the CuMine iteration of the P6 on .18 will compete nicely with the K7>

I agree. But K7 does not have to be the fastest x86 processor for AMD to become a very profitable company. K7 needs to be within 5% of Intel on performance with good yields. Today AMD is 30% behind in performance and yields. Both of these disadvantages can go away with K7. AMD stock will be in $60-$80 range if their ASP goes to $150.
