Paul,,, I have no doubts that both Pentium Pro and PII prodction and sales are much higher than that of the K6. [Intel's Pentium Pro production exceeds AMD's current K6 sales (assumed 1.6 Million/quarter) by about 50 to 70%. Moreover, Intel collects more than $139 apiece for these Pentium Pro devices - a LOT more. I'll let you guess what Intel's Pentium II sales rates are - hint - they also exceed K6 sales by a very wide margin!] Let's worse case it and assume that combined PPRO/PII production / sales is 300% higher than the K6. If I were an Intel stockholder, I would be outraged. Intel's capitalization rate (all money that owners have invested) is 50 times higher than that of AMD's. And a 300% advantage in "flagship" processor production / sales is all Intel has mustered. You know the PPRO has been on the market for a couple of years now. Buckwheat
