DA*M... Read this... KryoTech Announces Volume Production of Industry's First 600MHz PC KryoTech Cool K6™-2/600 with AMD's 3DNow!™ is Available for Immediate Delivery COLUMBIA, SC, April 12, 1999 /PRNewswire/ -- KryoTech, Inc. today announced volume production and immediate availability of a 600MHz PC based on the new AMD-K6® -2/475 processor with 3DNow!™ technology. KryoTech's –40C cooling system enables the AMD-K6-2/475 processor to run at the thermally-accelerated speed of 600MHz. KryoTech is selling the machine in a basic configuration with processor, motherboard, power supply, computer case and integrated cooling system for $1,150 (US retail). The Cool K6™ -2/600 can be purchased online at the KryoStore (http://www.kryotech.com) or through the growing worldwide network of KryoTech Authorized Resellers... I guess we might see that 500MHz K6-2 after all. Kryotechs last effort was a 500MHz K6-2 so maybe AMD got the process "fixed"...He he he....

I'd knock about 25% off those prices to get what Dog-paq, Gateway pays. Jim

Re: "It isn't safe to calculate earnings based on published prices." Scumbria, Of course - I realise that. My core point about increasing ASPs still stands though - unless this discount is huge. Anyone guess what it amounts to? Jim Mc. mentioned 25% Are the Big Boys (IBM/Gateway etc)getting a double discount from AMD? They are getting the official AMD ~25% undercut price but I presume they also play real hardball with AMD to cut prices more than they would with Intel. How much of AMD's output goes to the Top Ten (where the discounts are high) and how goes elsewhere? 500-MHz Pentium III $637 450-MHz Pentium III $411 ...... 450-MHz K6-III = $397 450-MHz Pentium II $396 ...... 400-MHz K6-III = $237 400-MHz Pentium II $234 ...... 475-MHz K6-2 = $213 350-MHz Pentium II $$163 ...... 450-MHz K6-2 = $158. 433-MHz Celeron $143 ...... 400-MHz K6-2 = $103 400-MHz Celeron $103 ...... 350-MHz K6-2 = $68 366-MHz Celeron $73 333-MHz Celeron $67
