<I'd say selling the Sharptooth 400 for one third the price of a Katmai 500 and the 450 for half its price would leave AMD with a tidy profit.>

Yeah, it's not like AMD can actually sell the Sharptooth without resorting to low-ball pricing. If AMD's smart, they'll avoid the low-ball strategy unless they can crank out the Sharptooth CPU's in the millions. It's regular supply-and-demand. If enough people want Sharptooth (and I'm sure there's enough just from the "Anything But Intel" crowd), then a low supply should lead to higher prices.

Re. Consumers only buy on MHZ
My information is that K6-3 will be realeased in 350 , 400 . 450 mhz
versions . Since the K6-3 will be 20-40% faster than K6-2 , then a K6-3 350mhz could be faster than a PII 450 . Given a few comparison benchmarks by AMD and the PC cos. many consumers would buy on performance IMHO ,
