re : This is true, an ATHLON is a very powerful chip. <G>

My point exactly. I mean, have you ever seen an Alpha based notebook ?:)

Jim, Re: K6-2+s will be great notebook chips...especially if they get equal to better MHZ than the P-III....

Seems to be the case. Why didn't your money follow your
thought ? A nice little gain(10%?) for all those money
in your INTC within a week.

McMannis - Re: "18u Athlons will be a better fit for a notebook? True or false?"

False, most likely.

The AthWIPE already uses 0.18 micron front end transistors and runs at 1.6 volts.

Look for some small, marginal power reduction as they go to a complete 0.18 micron process.

Then you have the PACKAGE issue - and AMD is currently stuck with a Slot A - and that won't fit into any notebook computer that YOU would want to own.
