Could this be the good news that Paul was referring to? techweb.com Radio Shack seems quite content to sell non-Intel computers as long as the price is right. By the way, the betterchips kid says the manufacturing problems that plague AMD at Fab 25 will be solved soon. I wish that were true, but this production problem has gone on for so long without resolution.

Paul,
Re -- Frink did not provide pricing on the upcoming
266-MHz K6, which is due at the end of the
quarter or early in the second quarter.

Wasn't IBM supposed to release a K6-266 system soon made from the SDC lab?

Further confirmation that the K6-266 isn't really available in anything more than sample quantities. With the intro of the PII-333, that now leaves AMD 3 full speed grades behind Intel. Indications are that the PII-350 & 400 are ready and only waiting for the 100mhz hostbus chipset before introduction. With a PII-450mhz due by mid year, this will leave AMD in the worst position relative to Intel's offerings since way back when Intel first licensed AMD to start using Intel designs.
AMD is not closing the gap, the gap is widening and will only get worse.

Paul, What your point? In the long run (long term)all chipmakers absorb price cuts as volume production increases with higher stock prices year over year.
