Chuck - RE: "<I think 400MHz K6-III being gone is good. It is larger and probably lower yielding (because it is larger) than the K6-2, but at its current price it costs the SAME to purchase as a K6-2! >

Are you saying K6-2 and K6-3 prices are SAME? If so, where? If not, I am not sure what you are saying."

Opps, I changed perspectives on y'all!

Yeah, I should have said current PRICES are SAME, not AMD's costs to produce the chips.

Sorry about that.

And I'm saying it costs the LESS to purchase a K6-III 400 compared to a K6-2 500, when the K6-2 500 clearly costs AMD LESS to make.

Chuck, re: < Are you saying K6-2 and K6-3 prices are SAME? If so, where? If not, I am not sure what you are saying. >

I think he was trying to make a point (with slight exaggeration ;o)) that K6-3 ASPs @.18 can go a lot higher with higher speed grades. Current lowest prices as per Pricewatch are -

K6-2 400 @ $36 k6-3 400 @ $80
K6-2 450 @ $48 K6-3 450 @ $132
