I'm not so sure. There's a couple fishy things here:

1. 0.25 micron K6's were not made at fab 25, but at the SDC. Shouldn't the SDC be working on the K7's? This smells like desperation. Like when Hitler used engineering battalians and anything else to defend Berlin.

2. The first 0.25 micron K6's start at 233 MHz (as Yousef predicted). Intel has 300 Mhz 0.35 PIIs. This doesn't bode well for AMD's speed grades keeping pace.
