Cringe - Re: "The K6-2 was much cheaper to produce than the PII. " WRONG !! WRONG !!! WRONG !!!! The K6 was EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE for AMD to produce - just look at all their LOSSES due to extensive & repeated yield problems. You keep making the same simpleton mistake as the BOZOs at MPR make - that small DIE SIZE equates to high yields ! WRONG !! WRONG !!! WRONG !!!! AMD is a shining proof that that argument is pure fallacy. Small die size can greatly HELP when YIELDS are high, but if yields are low - the entire economic situation is poor. And AMD is a great proof of that concept. Paul
