Joey, <Face it, Jim. K6-2 is competing against the Celeron I, II and not PII.>

Why do you so stuck with monikers? Who cares whom K6 is
competing against? The fact is AMD is fighting for market
share. The fact is AMD is gaining it. This means that
every Celeron sold eats into P-II sales. Directly. Celeron
is competing against their own P-II! Have you been lately
in any computer super-store? Celerons are everywhere,
Pentiums-II are practically invisible, undistinguishable.
Guess what Joe-customer is buying? Correct, the cheapest
one, which again is either K6 or Celeron, but definitely
not the full-blown P-II. Pentiums-II are just out of market, practically. Where the gains are? Guess yourself.

Re: "Huh??? Face it, Jim. K6-2 is competing against the Celeron I, II and not PII."

What happens when K6-3 comes out (in a couple short months!) and starts blowing away PII on every benchmark you can think of?

What competes against what then?
