Yields on the K6-2 350 must indeed be quite good. A couple of weeks ago, the local Best Buy didn't have a single system with a K6-2 350. This Sunday, they had systems from Acer, Umax, and IBM all using the chip. In fact, the number of displayed systems using AMD chips out numbered those from Intel. With Acer, Umax, and IBM all shipping, and Compaq announcing, volumes must be good. Pravin.

zdnet.com AMD's new K6 could drive down laptop prices ... Still, AMD may have important time-to-market advantages over Intel. For example, AMD is expected to introduce an integrated 3D instruction set into mobile processors, the K6-2, months before Intel does the same with its mobile version of the Katmai processor. Also, AMD is expected to introduce a 100MHz bus implementation in portables in the first half of 1999. Intel is not expected to reach that milestone until September of 1999 when it introduces Coppermine.
