Kevin and AMDites,
Re -- K6-166's and 200's...

One could infer from the prices of these chips, that AMD is not producing these in any significant volume. In normal bin splitting, these could be thrown away, because packaging and selling them at 25% below the price of pentium166 and 200's, would incur more losses. On the other hand AMD could have modified the process, so that K6's in any flavour do not run at 2.8 volts, thus all k6's are 233's, which would imply low yields, and a mediocre not really .35u process.

<What makes you think AMD can't sell its chips into this market as well?>

I thought I made it clear that I think they can, if they dropped the price low enough.
