Dan,

K6 was doing very well for AMD until they encountered first a yield crash, then later the chip stopped scaling

Let me nit-pick. The yield crash came because AMD was forced to push K-6 way past it's natural top clock rate. K-6 was not designed with MHz in mind.

P4 is outperformed by Athlon on both integer and floating point, using "internet content creation" as a proxy for floating point and "business productivity" as a proxy for integer apps.
bapco.com;

Isn't the fact that the AMD 1.2 machine listed there has 256M of RAM whereas no P4 machine listed at that site has more than 128M relevant?
