RDM, >>>"If they were having trouble finding customers the
K6-3 could always be accelerated.<<<

Is that like putting eight extra women on the task of having a baby so it can happen in one month? There are firm believers of the theory that adding people to an already behind project will put it further behind. So, tell us, if you want, how the K6-3 "could always be accelerated."

RDM,

The K6-3 must cost at least 50% more than the K6-2 to produce and the market will not pay a higher price for the K6-3 unless it outperforms the K6-2

The principal advantage of K6-3 is that it allows an OEM to ship a system without an external L2. When Intel drops Slot 1 next year and moves to a lower cost package, AMD will need an onboard L2 to be competitive against Dixon systems. K6-3 will have to replace K6-2 at the same pricepoint.
