Cirruslvr, <I guess we'll be seeing 900MHz Athlons in late Q1/early Q2. Wasn't that part of the plan anyways? > I think 900s are slated for March but could happen as early as February. I believe that the only thing that is restricting AMD's ramp up on speed grades is volumes. AMD simply does not have enough capacity to produce a lot of speed grades in good volume. They need to cutdown on speed grades below 600 ASAP. Jerry & co also need to make some hard choices on product pruning here and I haven't seen them make those choices. If they drastically throttle down the K6 volumes and apply that capacity to K7s, 900 could be launched anytime. Chuck P.S.: Given how fast things have been changing for AMD, any roadmap that gets made will probably be outdated in a matter of weeks.
