Gene - Re: "Kumar says, "K6/266 100% yield, K6/300 75% yield, K6 FSB faster than Celeron" This what Kumar said last week: "Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Piper Jaffray Inc, pointed out that AMD's yield improvements are still in test lots, and also said he doubts that IBM is investing in AMD. ''Who wants to invest in a company to have the bragging rights to go against Intel?'' Kumar said. ''IBM had its chancewith the PowerPC (chip) and they got their nose bloodied... That's not where the money is for IBM.''" Looks like he sings a different tune every few days. Paul
