Yousef,

You were right about the 350 Mhz speed grade. I think if you look back at my posts, you'll see that I was skeptical, also. In fact, I'm not sure if they are even shipping the 333 in any volume.

However, I think we will see the K6-2 350 about the time we see the PII 450 (at the end of July, I would guess). You must admit that the 1024x768 QuakeII frame rates on the K6-2 333 are quite impressive. A 500 Mhz Katmai with KNI should totally kick butt. I expect Intel to release it sooner than they have scheduled. The problem is for Intel that it will be their high end chip and won't be able to compete with the K6-2 at the low end. If it weren't for the WinChip 2, I would really like AMd's prospects over the next six months. Intel is making a big mistake not adding KNI to the Celeron line until 2H 99.

Pravin.
