Dinesh,

I believe it is time for AMD to narrow the 25% pricing gap.

pricewatch.com shows a 7% difference between K6-2 and Celeron prices.

AMD K6-2/400 with 3DNow! OEM 100MHz Bus, In Stock $ 95
Intel Celeron 400 PPGA OEM In stock $ 102

That policy no longer exist. 25% refered to K62 Vs. PII and it was actually more than 25%.

For now AMD is pricing the K62 same as Celeron and K6III about the same as PII.

Since AMD has won the business of many major OEM's, there are many more factors in their pricing policy than just being 25% lower than Intel.
