Cirruslvr, Re:"k6-2+ / K6-3+" Well my expectations/rumors are that 0.18 speeds will be pretty poor. My guess is 533-550 will be high end at launch with a 600 once volumes ramp and they can cull 10% - perhaps Feb/march. Not stellar but should be competitive with Celeron and Via once cache is on chip and should be very competitve for laptops. Remember VIA will be sub 500Mhz (PR rated). The key though is that overall costs will decrease as no external cache required and smaller die size. It should allow them to sell 3-5M units/qtr at a $60-70 ASP - which should be very profitable. regards, kash

Cirruslvr, <Goutama - RE: "AMD K6-III not dead, merely resting" I asked Lynn Comp about the K6-2+ and K6-III and got a response today - "Hi, latest word is the K6-III line is discontinued, being replaced with K6-2+ with 128k L2 cache and K6-III+ with 256k cache in Q1/2000. It will be .18 micron. I have heard the speeds will be 450-533 to start, this varies with production, they are made, tested then marked for speed, etc. Thanks for your interest." > Once upon a time I though Japan was consuming a good bit of K6-3 but I have never seen any evidence of that. I wonder if you are anyone else know what is happening to the K6-3s. And I wonder where the K6-3+s will go. Anyone know? Chuck
