Maxwell - Re: "e) AMD implanters are down"

I'll buy that one.

Don't you have a decent line maintenance group to fix these?

Better check to see if the Rev 4 Sharpy Dragon lot is still stuck at implant.

Pretty soon Sharpy may even slip into Q3 1999.

If it REALLY SLIPS, maybe AMD can position SHARPY against the Merced.

Speaking of Merced, everybody made a real hullabaloo when Intel announced a 6 month slip of Merced.

And here we are with AMD's Sharpy already SLIPPING 6 months - from Q498 to Q2 99 - and isn't even a new architecture - just a cache grafted onto an existing CPU.

I'd be worried if I were you, Maxwell.

Better go over to that high current implanter and see what's holding things up.

Paul

Re: "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."

I'll give you some more reasons that you didn't offer.

1. The K6-3 is bug ridden and AMD still can't get it right.

2. AMD is still having problems doing large SRAM arrays as witnessed by the startling absence of a large L2 on the K7 and all the manufacturing problems that result there from.

3. Both 1 & 2.
