IBM to ship K6-2 MMX for $1099
"Tomorrow, IBM will become one of the first major vendors to ship a consumer PC with AMD's K6-2 MMX processor. The 300-MHz chip includes technology for accelerating 3D graphics.
The company will offer the Aptiva E85 with the new chip, 64MB of memory, a 6.0GB hard disk drive, and a modem for $1,099. In expanding its use of Intel clone chips, IBM has aggressively incorporated the AMD processor into its lineup as part of an effort to price low-end systems in line with competitors such as Compaq. The latter basically pioneered the sub-$1,000 market last year as it topped Packard Bell in consumer PC sales.

IBM will also offer the Aptiva E96 with 333-MHz Pentium II and 96MB of memory for $1,799."

Intel friends, I picked up a copy of USA Today. It had the usual computer Ads from Dell (Intel only), but it also had full page Ads from HP (Intel only), Gateway (Intel only) and a huge two page Ad from Compaq (Intel only). Pricing ranged from $750 for a low end Pentium MMX from HP to $5,900 for Compaq Pentium II servers. No mention of AMD or Cyrix in any of the ads. All were selling direct to the consumer.

Compaq seemed to be really pushing the high end Intel systems.
