Yousef, Wasn't HP using a 66 Mhz bus in their 300 Mhz K6 systems? They probably just want to use the same motherboard and bump the clock multiplier by one. Sound reasonable? Pravin.

Yousef: <<Re: "HP announces K6-2 366 system:" This could mean that AMD is having trouble controlling their manufacturing process to produce 380mhz and 400mhz parts ... Wonder where I have heard this before.>> ____________________________________________________________________ By early Nov. AMD will release the K6-2-380MHz and K6-2-400MHz. Yousef would come along yapping "This could mean that AMD is having trouble controlling their manufacturing process to produce 430MHz and 450MHz." ____________________________________________________________________ By Jan. 99 AMD will release the K6-2 430MHz and 450MHz. Yousef would come along yapping "This could mean that AMD is having trouble controlling their manufacturing process to produce 500MHz". ____________________________________________________________________ By Q2 99 AMD will release the K6-2 500MHz. Yousef would come along yapping "This could mean that AMD is having trouble controlling their manufacturing process to produce 550MHz". ____________________________________________________________________ Does anyone see a pattern developing here?

Why would AMD create a new speed bin just 16mhz above their last point .. What about the 133mhz from 120 and 66 from 60 Pentiums? It's only 13mhz and 6 respectively from the last. Lots of people bought the newer bins and Intel made a ton of money. Why shouldn't this game be continued? -KL
