AMD said they were lowering prices on the 16th. I guess they did. Prepare for the 400 rollout. Jim

<K6-350 prices on Pricewatch fell over $20 on friday . the low price is now $172 was $193 on the 15th Oct . My guess is the yields have increased dramatically . Meanwhile the 300 + 333 mhz stayed the same at $110 + $129 respectively .> Or the $20 drop in the gray market price (i.e. Pricewatch) of K6-350 could be due to: 1) A pre-emptive price slashing before the 400 MHz parts are introduced, 2) A move by AMD in a situation where Intel is supply-limited and AMD is demand-limited, (i.e. to increase demand, you must lower price) 3) A result of the popularity of the Celeron 333 MHz, 4) A vendor going out-of-business after only a few months of operation (they're not unusual on Pricewatch).

re:K6-350 prices on Pricewatch fell over $20 on friday It's because Intel is cutting its prices. AMD is forced to respond. Doesn't say a thing about AMD yields. joey
