Maverick - Re: " Keeping its eye on the consumer space, the vendor reduced the price of 300MHz and 333MHz K6-2 CPUs to beat Intel's Celeron with cache, Krelle said. The K6-2 previously was priced 25 percent below a comparable Pentium II CPU but higher than the Celeron. " Wow ! There goes that FAT K6-2 margins - AMD is once again feeding at the bottom of the food chain. Paul

Maverick - Re: " AMD is on schedule to provide a 400MHz K6-2 next quarter and the K6-3 either next quarter or in the first quarter of 1999, he said." Hmmm....is Sharptooth trying to be pulled in because of Celeron competition? Or is it really slipping into first quarter 1999. Sounds like AMD is between a rock and hard "Intel". Paul
