What MHz do you think the PII will top out by the end of 1998, 450 or 500? Have any of you Silicon Valley folks heard anything about debut speeds of the K6-3D? What do you think are the probabilities of debuting at 300 & 350MHz. Hopefully, when adding the 3D instructions, AMD also resynthesized and laid-out the long paths. What do you think are the odds of the achieving 450MHz on the K6-3D or K6-3D+ by the end of the year. My concern is that if Intel has moved up the Celeron2 launch to June, they will have a low cost processor in the same performance range as the K6. This will put a cap on what AMD can charge for their processors; unless they can up the MHz to the point where it will cause Intel a lot of pain to raise the the Celeron MHz (by eating into their high end PII sales).

Intel is so lousy in technology innovations that they haven't been able to implement 64-bit 66Mhz PCI along with their latest BX chipset for SLOT 1 up to now. Life seems to be tough for Intel after the free copying came to the end after being caught. What they do great is to block the competitions and cheat the public with their so-called iCOMP and iCOMP2. It is truly amazing to witness such a giant to take the processor clock speed as their main technology achievement. That glory should belong to equipment manufacturers, not Intel!

Verdict on the Celeron? Well according to the article just posted 207.240.177.145 Celeron is a DOG! Consumers aren't biting and salemen aren't selling. Intel once again made a BOO BOO. Damn and I thought Intel is superior to the rest. Thus Intel is accelerating their plan to the Celeron II. Since Intel has so much cash they can afford to make a few BOO BOO here and there. They should have listened to the SI folks here. We all told them that Celeron ain't going to work. We told you so Elmer. Maxwell
