<if you're going to believe the K6-2 overhang from Sharky Extreme just based on his word, don't you think you'd also have to believe The Register, an equally credible source, about the incredibly high K7 yields?> Equally credible? Marco, The Register may be a lot of things, but one thing they don't burden themselves with is credibility. I trust Sharky Extreme a lot more than The YUK Register. Besides, The YUK Register does post a few pro-Intel articles from time-to-time, but that doesn't mean their credibility goes up a notch in my book. Tenchusatsu

Benjie Polio - Re: "Paula, if you're going to believe the K6-2 overhang from Sharky Extreme just based on his word" I reported - in early May - that AMD had at that time a 900,000 to 1,000,000 K6-2 inventory of parts with no customers. I heard another report 2 days ago that AMD was looking at CPU sales in the 4 Million - or less - range this quarter. This Sharky Extreme report of 2,000,000 unsold CPUs is yet another indication that AMD is having a dismal quarter. That's what I believe. If you don't like what I believe, that's your problem, not mine. Re: "about the incredibly high K7 yields?" Actions speak louder than words. If AMD had such "incredibly high K7 yields ", they would have announced the K7 long ago and would be flooding the market with K7's - and OEM's would be tripping all over themselves to endorse this new, fine CPU.
