fuchi son your post on christmas Sub zero sales is further conclusive proof of a broadening marketplace. The last one to a $100.00CPU is the looser. Season greetings. Hold on the your NSM if you exchange for Cyrix. There single cip solutions will be a big hit in the sub zero market.

Investor A, re:<buggy and overheat features of Pentium II-300> In investigating Intel specs on P2 series, heres some interesting facts: 1. P2 logic core (2.8 volts) at 233 MHz draws 30% more current than AMD K6-233 at nominal 3.2 volts. Make that 66% more for the P2-300. 2. Intel specs are sloppy on current requirements for power supply and thermal energy. They do not even specify the current consumption of the CPU if voltage is at its maximum allowed level (2.9 volts) but only specifiy power dissipation and current consumption if power supply is producing perfect voltage. As a manufacturer you're supposed to guess at the current consumption if your power supply happens to deliver 2.9 volts. OTOH, AMD clearly states what the current consumption is for a power supply at the max voltage. 3. Dozens of errata that Intel refuses to fix, workaround or no. Make it Better Petz
