Jim: I suspect that NSM is so far behind the CPU race that it will be difficult to catch up. Intel is accelerating their roadmap at a dizzling rate and AMD is trying hard to catch up. One good thing going for AMD is that their manufacturing ability of the 0.25um is in the bag. All they have to do is get the speed on their K6-2 and K6-3 to 450MHz and 500MHz. The K7 which will be revealed today is well ahead of the Jalapeno. NSM has 100% completed their conversion to 0.25um in Maine Fab. Once that is done they need to get the speed up to PR400. AMD is releasing the 400MHz in November and 450MHz in Q1-1999. Maxwell
