I'm showing AMD at 19 3/16 up 1 9/16 real time. Should make the longs feel better.

Dewrebers - Re: 'AMD's innovative TriLevel Cache design maximizes the overall system performance of AMD-K6-III processor-based desktop PCs by delivering one of the industry's largest maximum combined system caches. This larger total cache results in higher system performance. The TriLevel Cache design includes a full-speed 64KB Level 1 (L1) cache (a standard feature of the AMD-K6 processor family), an internal full-speed backside 256KB Level 2 (L2) cache, and a 100-MHz frontside bus to an optional external Level 3 (L3) cache on the Super7 motherboard. With a total of 320KB of combined L1 and L2 cache, the AMD-K6-III processor has more internal cache memory than any other x86 CPU available today. No other x86 processor supports an external L3 cache on the motherboard. When compared to a Pentium III based PC with a maximum total cache of 544KB (32KB internal L1 cache and a maximum of 512KB of half-speed external L2 cache), an AMD-K6-III processor-based PC with a combined cache size of 1,344KB (64KB L1 cache, 256KB L2 cache, and 1,024KB external L3 cache) delivers up to two and a half times more total system cache. AMD's TriLevel Cache design is not only the largest cache implementation for desktop PCs, it is exceptionally fast. The backside 256KB L2 cache of the AMD-K6-III processor operates at full processor speed. For example, the internal L2 cache of an AMD-K6-III/450 processor operates at a full 450 MHz. The TriLevel Cache design also offers an internal multiport cache design. This flexible design feature delivers higher system performance by enabling simultaneous 64-bit reads and writes of both the L1 cache and the L2 cache. In addition, each cache can be accessed simultaneously by the processor core. " Sounds like AMD is selling cache memory - not a processor on its own merits. STAYING TUNED FOR ALL THE PC MAKERS TO ANNOUNCE K63 BOXES - ONLY CyberSMASH SO FAR + a "COMMITMENT from Compaq" pAUL
