The latest is AMD has sold out nearly all it's production for the 4th quarter. The production will be in excess of what was projected.
The K6-3 is ready but large OEMs have suggested that AMD wait a little while since they expect the Sub $1000 market to be a hot seller for Christmas and want to stick with the K6-2s.
New code K6-2-400s and 380s are in mass production.
ASPs may still be in the $100 range because of pricing pressure from Intel. This is not good news per se.
The K7 can be in production a lot sooner than most think but the key right now is getting a chipset.

AMD K6-2-333 PACKARD BELL unit advertised at Compusa. AMD adds another tier one boxmaker. I hope they get paid.

Hutch - Re: "AMD can sell just about everything they can make without cutting prices too dramatically "

Now how does that brilliant Comment explain the near daily drop in AMD's 350 MHz K6-2 processor, down almost 25% in just the past few weeks?
