Scumbria, Let's assume that the k6-3 runs at 350 Mhz right now, but otherwise is ready to ship. The costs would be higher than k6-2, and it is not clear to me that customers would pay ANY premium to it vs a 400Mhz K6-2 even if it's actual performance was faster than the higher speed K6-2 or the PII. The reality is that MegaHerz sells, and the sharpy may well get delayed again if AMD finds it's easier to ship 400/450Mhz K6-2's in Q1 99 than say a 400Mhz Sharpy. As an investor I would much rather they ship the heck out of the K6-2 and make good money than ship the Sharpy to meet a promised deadline.
