<<re: As the K6 becomes available in speed grades that only have PII counterparts, not just P55C counterparts, they will. K6 266 and 300 machines will be seen as alternatives to their PII counterparts, and when 100 MHz bus versions become available, they will outperform them.>>

When will this happen? How is the K7 advancing? Does anyone have a K6 in their computer. How does it compare with the Pentium (same clock) or PII? I am an Intel investor, but I am trying to assess whether the competition from AMD and Cyrix is about to intensify. Is AMD still having Yield problems.

I don't think AMD can win this fight against Intel. But they can hurt intel's earnings for as long as they last. If however I am wrong and they do make progress in competing with Intel, the rewards would be large.
