wrong nus - re: "Seeing as how the chip underperforms in
video appplications?"

Tom Pabst's benchmarks show that Intel's Pentium IIs and Celerons are all faster than equivalently clocked K6-2 devices:

That is why AMD's K6-2 prices are plummeting and AMD is facing a LOSS.

Don't you just LOVE LOSSES, greg?

These LOSSES brought you out of hiding to defend the sinking ship AMD !

greg - AMD just made the Swiss very Happy !

UBS - the United Bank of Switzerland now owns 8% of AMD !

The lucky Swiss seem to have bought AMD last December when Cherry's Baby was selling in the mid to high $20's !

Well, the SWISS just lost a bundle on that investment !

Maybe Cherry plans to sell out to foreign ownership on-the-cheap!

I'll bet Cherry gets a nice villa somewhere in Switzerland !
