RE:"AMD could disable the extra cache on any units with defective L2
cache or speed dropouts and sell them as K6-2/400s. It's a great
strategy IF they can yield at 450/500MHz"...

That's been the plan, Stan.
Remember that the K6-2 CXT core problem was also a K6-3 problem.
I doubt we'll see too many 450s this quarter and no 500s as far out as I can see until a partial shrink. Maybe a 475 by June.
