High Priest: <<Why is the Sharpy chip delayed ANOTHER QUARTER ? Q2 1999 is an awful slip ! Such a great product should be out on the market now, shouldn't it? If it worked. Doesn't it work yet?>> The only thing that is needed for K6-3 is to design the L2 cache controller. This task is an order of magnitude compared to designing a CPU. Think Dr. Engle. Why is AMD not releasing it? The answer is very simple. I'll give you some choices to choose from to why AMD is not releasing the K6-3. a) AMD doesn't want to drive INTC out of business. b) AMD wants to milk the market of K6-2. c) AMD wants to position K6-3 against Katmai. d) Customers want AMD to delay the K6-3. e) AMD implanters are down. f) The sky is blue. g) The fed hasn't cut the interest enough. h) Noyce secretly made a deal with Sanders to release the K6-3 late. i) AMD hasn't found a good name for the K6-3.
