<<AMD said production volumes should come closer to the two-million mark than to the total of one million chips produced in the third quarter.>> Does this mean that AMD will produce in Q4 K6 close to 2 million OR just more than 1 million in Q3? <<The company said the shortfall is the result of efforts to increase production using advanced 0.25 micron circuit-width technology. AMD makes the K6 in both this circuit size and in the larger 0.35 micron width. Focusing resources on 0.25, which allows the company to produce higher-performing processors, led to a reduction in volume at the 0.35 level.>> Assuming the statement is true, from technical standpoint (John P, YOusef), will the migration from 0.35 to 0.25 decrease K6 output?

Did you notice that 266 mhz will ship in volume in December? I assume this is on .25 micron. If that's the case, I wonder where the .25 micron 300 mhz chips are. Or, a better question, WHEN they are.
