Greg - RE: "With Amd's 6 to 9 month jump with k-7 over Dixon"

Dixon is out now. It is a notebook version of the PII w/256 KB L2 cache running at full speed. You are thinking of Willamette.

greg, re: challenge to Germans to make 5M K7 chips in '99.
That would be awesome, but they'd have to successfully transition to 0.18 by September/October to pull it off. Makes you wonder if the 0.18 transition is going ahead of schedule like Intel's (so they claim). But I don't think AMD can sell K7 chips for $500 until they have 30% market share. I expect that in 2000. By the end of the year the ASP on the K7 will be equal to the Pentium III 600, probably about $400.

Wrong nus - Re:"With Amd's 6 to 9 month jump with k-7 over Dixon"

According to you, the K7 must have gone in to production in April of 1998, since DIXON was in FUll production as of January 24, 1999.

So who has been buying all those K7's ?
