Paul, RE:AMDs roadmap. Little has changed except that AMD will milk the K6-2 setup a little longer. At high speeds and nice profits. Jim

Paul, I post you a brand new news article and you post me OLD NEWS. Who are you--Maverick? Give us a break from your endlessly redundant "party line." Kevin PS I'll save Paul the trouble of responding to this post by responding as he might respond: Intel may not be able to produce a working 450 MHz Xeon, but all AMD can produce are MORE LOSSES! AMD will post another big loss this quarter. AMD just lost $105,000,000 last quarter. That makes four losing quarters in a row, GOING ON FIVE! Soon Intel will shoot through the roof, just like my BLOOD PRESSURE!! <gg>

Paul, re:<more delays for K6-3> You quote ebnews.com, which did say "AMD will introduce its K62 microprocessor with 256-Kbytes of Level-2 cache, dubbed Smarttooth, in the first quarter of 1999." However, a contemporaneous article at news.com says the following" *"Advanced Micro Devices will release a 450-MHz version of the K6-2 and the first K6-3 chips toward the first part of 1999, and will turn a profit by this year's end, according to CEO Jerry Sanders."* The phrase "toward the first part of 1999" implies December, since clearly January is IN in the first quarter of 1999. Therefore the schedule has not changed. Another contemporaneous article at theregister.co.uk said: *"The source said that towards the end of August, AMD will introduce a 350MHz K6-2 chip, and that will be followed soon after by the K6-2Plus and the K6-3Plus. Those will arrive towards year-end."* Again, the timeframe is "towards year-end,"not "in the first quarter of 1999." Petz
