<I'm well aware that when Intel introduces a product, it normally can be found in products within a week or two of their introduction. However, keep in mind that the OEMs that have the product available first are Dell and Gateway, which have shorter manufacturing leadtimes. I expect that when K6-2 400 debuts, OEM announcements will occur simultaneously, and boxes will ship very shortly thereafter. Apparently this won't be the case for K6-3. In any case, why should AMD be bound by Intel's announcement policy? If they want to have their own, so be it>

I knew it! AMD is definitely pulling a Clinton. They're saying, "Yeah, let's redefine the definition of 'release date' to our own liking. If it works for Clinton and his high approval ratings, it must work on our shareholders!"

Kevin - Re: " AMD does need to develop some consistency about how they make their announcements, though. Otherwise they're completely useless for their informational content. "

Couldn't agree with you more !
