AJ,

All large volume of manufactured chip by AMD are 0.25. They will not get to 0.18 till the third quarter, they have said so many times.

I am sure there are plenty of URL's to confirm this, I just don't have the time to look it up for you.

Aj,
RE:"the 475 could be 500's they just could'nt get the yeild up,
and 450's are probably 400's, like the 380's are 350's."

AMD has never announced a 500 K6-2 or any K6-2 on .18u much less any chips at all on .18u at this time.
If 450s were .18u, they wouldn't be running at 2.4v.

Someone is pulling your leg.

AJ,
RE:"I'm a big fan of AMD, despite it screwing
it's shareholders. This new K6III-400 chip
is really stupid, as it's just gonna confuse
the hell out of everyone while the K7 is now
long overdue."...

---From a MHz standpoint, a 400 MHZ k6-III might seem confusing, trust me though, it's fast.
Now that AMD has the K6-II it takes some of the pressoff the K6-2 and AMD is not as distressed having to battle the Celeron with it.

How long is the K7 overdue? I don't think it is, yet. AMD has said June.
