Joey,
Notice that with AMD at 350 and then the 400 in a couple of months, that Intel is running out of fat profit speed grades. When the 400 debuts it will likely come at around $250. Only one speed grade behind the Pentium II-450 currently selling at around $700. Intel can always cannibalize the Pentium II more by raising the speed of the Celeron A.
Face the fact that there are only two exciting chips right now, the Celeron A and the K6-2. The pentium II is too big and too expensive to make.
Jim

Joey, re:<K6-2's margins would be much higher if they could price these chips against PIIs and not Celerons.>

Voila! The K6-2-350 IS priced against the 350 MHz Pentium II. Last time I checked, there was no such thing as a Celeron-350.
