Chuck - RE: "Assuming the prices are true, I believe 500MHz is seeding the market." Especially at the $298 price. I wonder what AMD will price the K6-III 500. The Forbes article said the supposedly-already-out-but-unannounced-to-us 475 was $402, and the 450 is $212 and the still unavailable 500 is $429 at pricewatch. I guess AMD will be slashing prices of the K6-III soon. "Let's say the 2-3Mu AMD chips floating around is true. Paul says AMD will sell 4Mu, I say closer to 5Mu. For argument sake let's stick with Paul's number - this means AMD produced 6-7Mu K6s in addition to all the K7 build-up. Does this make sense?" Yeah, the numbers don't seem to jive, unless AMD really sucked in the retail market this Q. Whatever the numbers turn out to be, the glut doesn't look good.
