So AMD is shipping the K6-2 400 MHz ("shipping" in industry parlance--even including Jerry-speak--does not mean providing samples). If you were keeping tabs that means: AMD IS ONE SPEED GRADE BEHIND INTEL. AND CLOSING. Yousef better get on the ball over there at Intel. Better get cracking on those low-k dialetics, Yousef. Looks like you're going to need them sooner than expected. Kevin

Question - with INTEL patenting - not the chip but the mount - how is this going to affect AMD? They can use the super 7 socket now but to make a chip that will fit in the new INTEL socket, they will have to pay INTEL. Going to be interesting - seems INTEL has not learned over the years that virtually everyone that has tried to make something propritary in the computer industry has gone down in smoke! jb
