Jim,

The k6-3 would be great lap-top product if they could yield it but were having to tweak it up to speed.

Even a 300Mhz laptop chip would be awesome and thats probably same as a 350-366 desktop device. However they won't sell many sharpy's (at decent ASP's) unless they get to 400/450Mhz speeds for the desktop markets.

So next quarter it will have to be.

regards,

Kash

Jim,

Or maybe AMD has sold out all it's K6-2 production for the quarter and isn't able to shift significant resources to the K6-3 just quite yet.

Let's pretend that is true for Q4. So why doesn't the K6-3 show up on the store shelves until the end of Q1? It plugs into the same motherboard as K6-2.

Please tell me, where does the K6-3 fit in in marketing terms?

As AMD's highest performing (and highest ASP) CPU.

Scumbria
