AMD K6/2-400 on Pricewatch. That puts AMD one speed grade behind Intel. That's about 3-4 months behind in process technology, and quickly closing. This is pretty consistent with the data we're getting from both companies about the .18u transition. Luckily the K7 is at least a year ahead of any Intel design that's out there (or will be out there). Next summer could be an interesting one indeed. Kevin

Hutch - Re: "K6-2 350''''''''''''''60% of PII-350 ($135 vs $223)" The 350 MHz K6-2 price was $139 two days ago. Does this $4 drop imply that AMD's yields have improved during the past two days? How does the CPU vendor get this information so fast ? Paul
