Kash - RE: "I suspect that the mobile K-3 will be very high performance and low cost and available in high volumes."

And the notebook vendors don't have to put L3 cache in. Even more cost savings for the buyer.

<I think the K-3 at 300/350 with 100Mhz buses will give the Dixons and mobile PII's fits in the marketplace.>

Can the K6-3, which is meant for the desktop, just be dropped into a mobile computer without any trouble? Is it really as easy as lowering the voltage and clock speed? If so, the K6-3 is truly a winner for AMD, if they have the capacity to make them without much hassle.

But so far, I've not heard any hint of a mobile K6-3 announcement. What are they going to do with the K6-3 dies that fail to run at 400 MHz in the meantime? Keep them in a closet?
