Tenchusatsu, theregister.co.uk "AMD is stepping out six new mobile CPUs, three apiece for the Mobile K6-III-P and K6-2-P lines. For the K6-111-P line, clock speeds come in at a useful 400MHz, 433MHz and 450MHz, compared with 400MHz for Intel's fastest mobile Pentium -- the 400MHz Pentium II. It's a tighter squeeze on the K6-2-P front, but AMD still shades the MHz race with its 433MHz, 450MHz and 475MHz contenders. Its top model edges ahead of Intel's fastest mobile, the 466MHz Celery (which launched only last week)." I have a K6-2 333 and a Celeron 333, and they ain't comparable. The Celeron is much faster than the K6-2. Did they change the K6-2? :o) You're right; I think they are comparing apple to oranges. I don't know about the K6-3 and P2 comparison. AMD Athlon is THE FASTEST PC PROCESSOR IN THE WORLD! steve

Tench - RE: "Intel's fastest mobile processor is a Celeron 466. AMD's fastest mobile processor is a K6-2 475, at least in clock speed alone. Unfortunately, that K6-2 is hopelessly far behind in performance. I'd be surprised if a K6-2 475 can even beat a Celeron 433." Do you think the average retail consumer really cares? The numbers don't hint at it. AMD had 67% of the retail notebook market in July!. Do you know how pitiful it is for INTEL to only have 33% of a market they used to own practicaly 100% of? With an equal/slight advantage in MHz, I don't expect AMD's notebook share to fall as fast as it has in the desktop market.
