Kash - Re: "Seeing as they have the fab capacity in place it would seem to me they should swallow their pride and pump out 500Mhz coppermines while the speedwork goes in parallell." I agree completely. A 500 MHz Coppermine is a lot faster and cheaper than a 500 MHz Pentium III (0.25 micron) with the additional 1/2 speed SRAM L2 chip(s). I'm sure somebody at Intel - maybe Andy Bryant - will figure this out and get marketing involved and come up with the "New and Improved Pentium ///+ ". We'll see. Paul

Paul, from what I understand the AMD K7 demonstrations have been with what from what I assume are highly tweaked engineering prototypes. Are you aware if there is a production versions ready yet or are they just delivering pre production samples? I've been thinking a lot about the Coppermine delay today. If Intel (the manufacturing juggernaut) is having problems with their Coppermine CPU then AMD (the manufacturing wimp) may be in real trouble with their K7...especially when they try to produce it on .18 micron with copper down the road. What do you think? Would you venture to take a guess when AMD may really be ready with the K7 and the necessary infrastructure? Also, I'd like to try and clarify that Intel is getting satisfactory yields with the 500mhz Coppermine. I believe this would actually be pretty good news, all things considered. Thanks in advance, Doug
