Re: "The K7 chipset, the mobo makers need more time."

Really! So you are saying the K7 is ready to go but the chipset and boards are lagging??? The same K7 that has never been seen in public? The same K7 that has never posted a benchmark? The same K7 that no customer has committed to is sitting there ready to go but AMD hasn't had the guts to demo? Perhaps you are talking about the foils and not the actual product? I understand the foils are production worthy.

Jim,

AMD will milk the profits and intro the K6-3 in the fullness of time.

Obviously AMD would rather sell $100 parts instead of those silly $200 parts. And they will wait until the $200 parts are valued at $100 before they sell them. It is common sense business practice.

If K6-3 was ready to go, it would be going.
