Re: "Survive? Sure

Not Intel as we know it. Intel's overhead is gigantic compared to their competition. If Intel had to go head-to-head Celeron vs. K6-3, the company would collapse."

That wasn't the question you asked. You asked if they could survive. In the real world, Intel doesn't have to go head to head Celeron vrs K6-3, in fact there isn't any K6-3 to go head to head with. AMD's statements yesterday seem to suggest the K6-3 is now slipping further as the AMD spokesman said the K6-3 will begin showing up in retail stores late Q1 or early Q2. I read slip to April.

"Allen said that AMD's K6-3 chip, which will compete directly with Intel's upcoming Pentium III chip, is on schedule and should be in systems on retail shelves at the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter."
