K6-3 was "essentially ready to ship," but that AMD was holding it up so as not to create "market confusion" during the holiday selling period. Go figure. I am getting really confused about what is going on with Sharptooth. If they are holding off on manufacturing because they are selling everything they can make at a decent ASP, why not get IBM or Motorola to manufacture K6-2 while they start Sharptooth production? If Sharptooth performance is truly Pentium II equivalent, it seems to me they would sign every remaining OEM in an instant since it will cost much less to manufacture than anything Intel has. Can someone explain it so that a non-engineer would understand. Thanks, Jeff
