greg, assuming its May and no more 0.35 wafer starts are happening, Will the AMD 266 mhz @ .375u now be made on .25u geometry or discontinued? 0.35 K6's will still be available then for another 3 months, but I doubt they'll sell them as 266's. (all the 266's now are 0.25æ. Most will overclock to that level since I heard that 100% of the 0.35 production now runs at 233.) I would guess these old 0.35's will sell for $80 and at that time the 0.25 K6-266 will be priced even with the Celeron 266 or 30% less than the P2-266. My guess is thats about $120 after a huge Intel price cut. The K6-300 (100 MHz bus) will probably be 30% less than the P2-300 (I heard Jerry say "at least 25%" when referring to the P2 becuase, even with 100 MHz bus, P2 will still be a little faster at same clock speed) ... and sligtly less than the P2-266. With price cuts, maybe $150. I expect the K6-3D's to sell for $50 more than the K6's and even in price with same-speed P2's. Please match the Intel chip you thing can match the AMD-300, best in performance K6-300 == P2-266, maybe AMD a little faster. Petz
