Re: "Seems you believe what you want to believe. This is a form of denial ..."

Your is a form of "ignorance", Jimmy ... I will let you in on a secret,
the 500mhz K7 will yield higher than the 550mhz or 600mhz bins. This is a
fact ... Most likely (my experience), the yield falls off very fast unless
the process and circuit have been well "characterized". Now based on past
AMD K6/K6-2/K6-3 problems, AMD doesn't do a good job of "characterizing"
their circuits in a process. Thus, I tend to believe Joey about the 500mhz
will be the volume leader. Do you really still believe that AMD will
"eek-out" a few 600mhz parts ?? <ggg>

Make It So,
