Pravin, Sharptooth will be targeted at the mobile market. Earlier, AMD executives indicated that Sharptooth would come out in the first quarter. In other words: K6-3 has some speedpaths which they are having trouble fixing, so they are trying to salvage the product by selling it into the lower megahertz mobile market. Scumbria

Re: "It also costs much less than Intel's 300-MHz Pentium II. That chip sells for $637 in volume, although Intel earlier this week quietly released a 300-MHz version of the Pentium MMX for $144." Quoted from the article linked in the post I'm responding to. The P55C is still being cranked up in speed? Wow. Thought that was dead. Kevin

Pravin, the CNET article is filled with inaccuracies and I believe they misquoted or misinterpreted Krelle. ("AMD, for its part, will counter with "Sharptooth," a K6-2 with 256KB of integrated, secondary cache sometime in the first half, Krelle said) The entire article was about notebook chips, and I belive Krelle was speaking of the mobile version of the Sharptooth, which has always been scheduled for Q2'99, not Q1'99 introduction.
