John Wang, re:<Have you not observed K6, with smaller die size than P-II, have lower yield?>

At 162mm^2, it was beyond AMD's capability to ramp up the K6 in less than a year. Don't expect the same difficulty with 68 and 81 mm^2 die sizes. Based on these sizes, the K6's in 0.25 micron are much more "manufacturable."
