Cirruslvr: Nice finding. This is great news. By jacking the Vcc=2.2V to 2.3V AMD will able to get a huge speed bin in the 450MHz. All the 433MHz can now run at 450MHz. K6-2-400MHz--Vcc=2.2V K6-2-450MHz--Vcc=2.3V K6-3-400MHz--Vcc=2.3V K6-3-450MHz--Vcc=2.3V With 2.4V AMD should be able to get 500MHz without process or design change. All I can say is CHEER! If Intel wants to play MHz game AMD will play their game. With K6-2-450MHz, K6-3-400MHz, K6-3-450MHz, and 7-8M total dice in Q1 AMD should ROCK & ROLL. Long live AMD and DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER INTEL.

Cringe - re: "K6-2 450 and K6-3 will require 2.3 volts." There they go again - their process can't produce 450 MHz at the nominal Vcc so they have to JACK UP THE VOLTAGE. That's a 9% power increase over the 2.2 volt part at the same frequency. However, since 450 MHz is 12.5% above 400 MHz, that adds up to a total of 21.5% POWER INCREASE for 450 MHz K6-2. I hope the PC OEM's can handle that excess heat generation. Paul

<AMD mboard recommendations> There are only listings for K6-3 400 and 450 , no mention of K6-3 350 as previous reports indicated . That would seem to indicate better yields . BTW , I love the way Useless and his friend hi priest are still in denial of AMD's ability to compete . That is one reason why AMD has not gone on stage 2 boost , there are quite a large number of analysts with the same kind of tunnel vision . When earnings are released this week it will be another upside surprise . If they announce anything close to 50c judging by stocks such as MOT and LLTC that should give AMD second stage boost to $50+ best regards , Brian
