Tony,
"Not cringing at all. Just marveling at the statement below which you
brought in to the thread today. It's not the typical we will overcome stuff usually seen around here. "

No sense sticking you're head in the sand. If the Celeron 366 will run at 550 then it will run at 550. Albiet the sample of one is a bit small. Top speed for these chips should give a clue on future speed grades under .25u. Even if it's the Katmai, which will suppossedly run at 533 in the next few months or so....that should be it for .25u?
AMD should know what they have to shoot for. Hopefully they will be able to get the K6-3 to 500MHz...by the time Intel gets to 533.
The race to .18u is shaping up. Supposedly the K6-3 will run at 600MHz on .18u. But so will Intels offering so the race is who gets their first.

Jim

Re: "At least one engineering sample of the new Celeron 366
runs at 550..."

Why should this surprise you? There are numerous examples on the web of people overclocking their Celeron 300A's to 550 MHz.

IT'S THE SAME CHIP! The only reason it's more difficult to do it with the PII is the L2 cache.
