Paul,

The K6-2 prices have plummeted by more than HALF - and continue to drop.

Sounds like big trouble for PII margins.

Paul,

You are DEAD WRONG AGAIN.....jeez.

Your own CEO has stated that the low end is cannibalizing higher end CPU's.

AMD now has 350,366 and soon 380/400 at well over a $100 range.

AMD is going to have a rocking quarter and they have the CAPACITY at MegaFab (NOT MEGAFLOP) for 6-7M pcs this quarter.

You were wrong on AMD loss for Q3.
You were wrong on AMD being able to yield 366/380/400 in Q4.
You were wrong about k6-300 mobile.
You were wrong about the K7 being junk (read the reviews).
You were wrong about another tier one in Q4.

Now you are predicting ASP's below $100 and you will be DEAD WRONG again.

Is there a trend HERE or do you get your jollies endlessly posting crap on thios thread.

Get a LIFE.

Kash

Hi Paul,

I know I can rely on you to give a critical review
of this purchase I am considering:-

computer.org

Is it worth buying? Looks a snip for $44:00.
This is a serious question. I am also interested
in your view on the pluses/minuses of the K6-2 vs
Celeron. Briefly stated from a technical point of
view.

regards,

Pearly

Paul:
<<Have AMD's yields DOUBLED in the last few months?>>
Intel has initiated 6 times price cuts since the beginning of the year. The frequency of the Intel price cuts exceeded its price cuts in any previous periods in Intel's history. Is this because of Intel's yields doubled in the last few months?
