PB, It's April. THEY KNOW That is probably not true. 3 months is lots of time to enhance clock speed. K6-2 is up more than 10% in the last couple of months. Scumbria

PB, Re: Why can't these guys just come out and say it. It's April. THEY KNOW! Once again, it reminds me the 21264 scene. My bet is that they don't want to start out with only 500Mhz but is still having problems pushing it higher. Let's see if it can be fixed in 2 months time. Gary

Re: "Now what does this mean? Will start at? Are they going to release more than one speed grade, or is this the release speed? Why can't these guys just come out and say it. It's April. THEY KNOW!" I think they still don't know. They should have demoed a hand picked vcc jacked fast skew corner unit at 800Mhz+. My bet is they demoed a hand picked, vcc jacked, fast skew corner unit at 600Mhz because that's all it will do!!! A production targeted unit would be much slower. In their desperate position they had to pull out all the stops and all they could come up with is 600Mhz under best possible conditions!! This spells trouble any way you look at it. EP
