Bob,

HP's WBT was designed and is being
manufactured by Wyse, according to sources at
Wyse. It contains an embedded SC 400 processor
from Advanced Micro Devices, 16MB of memory,
a 10Base-T network interface card, and a
keyboard. It will sell for an estimated $699.

I thought Wyse was going to use Cyrix chips.

Pravin,

A 300 Mhz Mendocino for $92 could go a long way towards putting AMD out of business.

It will not be a picnic for NSM either.

Pravin, re:"A 300 Mhz Mendocino for $92 could go a long way towards putting AMD out of business." My thoughts exactly. On the other hand, the K6/3D retail box has been in very short supply lately. This may signal that the next-gen K6 is nearly ready.

For whatever it's worth, last night I compared a K6/3D-266 with EDO RAM against a PII/266 with SDRAM. With a 16-bit test program including loops, branching, array searching, and sorting (no floating point math), the K6 registered 27% faster!

And AMD doesn't have far to go.
