Greg Nus, I don't suspect that you will be seeing TSMC or UMC building too many K6's anytime soon. That's because AMD's license to build X86 processors is only good within AMD's internal fabs (or at foundries that have a license to build X86 processors like IBM). National/Cyrix recently signed a cross licensing agreement with Intel. I'm not sure how that extends to TSMC or UMC. Anyways, I know that AMD's license does not extend to TSMC or UMC. If AMD tried to build processors at TSMC or UMC I'm sure that Intel would sue. Profits
