Charles, Re: "k6-2+" Yes I agree it is a dead end product, but will be cheap to build in $30-40 range. Coupled with an integrated chipset, it should be a pretty good low end solution. The only reason for it I can see is to keep Intel honest in the lowend. As you know Intel would prefer selling its Celerons/Cu/128s in the $100 range, this is almost 50% margin to them and gives them great leaway to slash the high end pricing and maintain close to a $200 average ASP. With this low end product their average celeron ASPS will be much closer to $60-80 range. This way they have to maintain the Cumine ASPS well north of $300 to compensate. Of course your point on clock speeds is critical. regards, Kash
