Paul or Yousef,,, what would be the bottomline implications of this 49% cpu power increase in a typical highend laptop system having a 13" active matrix screen, 3 GB Hardrive, 24X CDROM, 56K PCMCIA Modem, PCMCIA 10/100 NIC, 256K Cache, 2 MB Video, 32 MB SDRAM, and other various and sundry items.

Paul,

Re: "AMD's 0.25 micron process may be a 2.2 volt process, not a 2.1 volt process!"

This could be a very long and unprofitable New Year for AMD ... Not only
does the higher voltage .25um process produce "power hungry" CPU's, but
the K6 will also be lower performing. Intel will maintain their 2-3 speed
bin differential and continue to drop prices on the lower performing CPU's!!

Make It So,
Yousef
