Re: "AMD K6 uses no cache chips, no slot-boards, no 100+ resistor/capacitor to solder, no plastic retainers etc. as compared to Intel P-II line. What "costs down" are you talking about? This was discussed at length, the whole Wall Street agrees that K6 is cheaper to make than Pentium-II, Intel itself agrees and pushes Socket-370 Celerons, but you still prefer to pedal your wrong marketing agenda." Sigh.... Ali, have you ever heard of anyone complaining about predatory pricing of the PII? The claims are about Intel pricing of the Celeron. Even at deep discount prices Intel makes a nice little profit on those Celerons. Not PII margins but profit nonetheless. If AMD can't compete on price that's their problem. EP
