Pravin, No I think AMD looked at what kind of process IBM offered to NSM and say "thanks but no thanks".. Steve

Pravin, re:<AMD doesn't need IBM for production> At least up to about 4.5M, you're right, but don't you think they should unleash IBM to make Celeron clones, especially in the new PGA package, and sell them at $75? That would put AMD's K6-2 in the middle of the market, instead of the low end. A cacheless K6-2 would probably outperform a cachless Pentium II, because the L1 is twice as big -- also would have 3D technology. Could it be done in time? Petz
