Tench, based on anand's review, it looks more and more like K6-3 will be competing (and priced!) against Celeron. Not a good thing for AMD investors becuase we know how agressively Intel will price Celron chips...looks like jerry and co. will have to rely on hyping the K7 to boost the stock price again.

Ten,

Anand's benchmark results on K6-3 look very suspicious. It seems very unlikely that a Celeron w/128K L2 is going to outperform a K6-3 with 256K L2 and 1MB L3.

Chances are that something was wrong with the bios settings on the K6-3 system he was using. Who knows where he got it from? Did he plug a K6-3 into a K6-2 system? Maybe the L2 is disabled?

Re: High End benchmarks

Luckily most users aren't doing much CAD or simulation work on their laptops. <GG>
