you have demonstrated the great power of
deduction, but your result is wrong. Hence
the conclusion as well. K6 Socket7 has 321 pins,
Celeron PPGA-370 has 370 pins>

The discussion was about the cost of Ceramic K-6 package cost vs plastic Celeron Package Cost. I firmly stand by by assertion that the Celeron plastic package will cost a fraction of the K-6 ceramic package cost. The extra number of pins is not significant to affect the issue.

Ali, When you get real cheap, to the point where the CPU costs $3, then the difference between a $12-15 ceramic package and a $5 plastic package become significant.
I am sure a plastic package will come for AMD, soon.
