Re: "AMD seems to use the term "mask problem" to indicate a design speedpath."

Perhaps they do, but considering virtually every process step involves a mask, it's rather a catchall phrase. Can you think of any design problem that wouldn't be fixed at some mask level?

Would AMD be better off should they stick with K6 ?

The 3DNow were supposed to add premium(and increase
ASP) but it seems that it didn't work. They still attribute
the low ASP as a result of not enough high speed (400Mhz)
parts (only MHz sell?)

If that's the case, then they think they can pull the wool over everyone's eyes. Mask problem, speed path problem, not even close. What server design company do you think is going to entrust the CPU to a company that speaks with forked tongue like this?
