Re <Fun reading: by Market_Shark from Yahoo.> Not much of a fun IMHO. Pretty good description of K6 situation: "Unluckily for us the K6 was never design to go past much 400mhz and sure enough yields past 300 were close to non-existent." He forgot to add that after AMD had trouble yielding 400 and customers went on hold, even solving the 400MHZ yield couldn't help much to financials: "infuriated Gorilla" not only dropped prices for Celerons, but also raised the market-wise MHz bar even higher. So AMD was really cornered by Intel in Q2 (of course "investors" can blame Jerry or his limo for that matter, your choice).
