Kash,
RE:"I am mystified why the K-3 is not being run at dresden.
On 0.18 it should be 60-70mm2 in size and should yield very well at high
speeds".

Thats' interesting. I've never got a good answer as to whether the K6-III will be .18u or something more than than due to partial shrinks. Seems like the K7 is AMDs way of putting it all on the "come line" and rolling the dice.
I have heard that part of the problem compounding the shortage of K6-2s in the 400 variety was a shifting of resources to the K6-III and K-7 last year. Seems like the equipment at FAB25 is maxed out.
