Yougang,

The 550-MHz version is due in the second quarter

Good catch. Sounds like K7 and PIII will be running neck and neck.

Yougang,

Re: 550 in May

Thanks for the clarification.
As an AMD long that sure makes me feel better.

Frankly, with a 550 coming mid year I guess that surely means that the 533 with the 133Mhz bus with Rambus DRAM probably makes no sense.

With the huge extr costs of Rambus RDRAM I guess only the server guys will initially buy it.

Anyway, I sure hope that AMD has some hype for next week.

Regards,

Kash

Yougang - Re: "Announcing 550 part NOW, ship it LATER."

Just what AMD will do next week with the Sharpy Eye chip.

Except Intel already has 450 and 500 MHz Pentium III parts available today.
