I'd be surprised if IBM makes .35 K6s. AMD should have plenty of reject .25s that they can sell at 233Mhz. Besides, I thought AMD had already switched to .25 because they couldn't get .35 to yield? Jim

John, Re: "Since AMD is stopping production of K6 (0.35) June '98 and has ANNOUNCED THIS ... Let IBM make them! A K6-233 will be $90 by then." Once again John, you are wrong ... this shows how little you know about AMD's process development problems. AMD continues to struggle with their .35um process. They had to pull many of their engineers off the SDC .25um process to help the Austin plant. AMD is far behind in where they need to be with their .25um process. It makes a lot of sense for AMD to try and purchase the .25um technology from IBM and save the development effort. This just goes to show how really desperate AMD has become. Make It So, Yousef
