Jozef, I agree that this is probably not a good deal for AMD and is just another disappointing rumor. It will only drive the price of the K6 lower and will not increase the availability of the chips because IBM will most likely use the ones they make. I doubt if IBM has been that big of a customer of K6 chips, so any chips they make and use is not going to free up many chips for the channel. At the very least, it puts more K6 chips into the market and may help increase retail customer awareness of the K6.
