<K6III will happen, there is no question about it. If you had listen to AMD's CC you would know this also.>

Mani, I agree with you 100%. However, remember when Anand of AnandTech released those K6-3 benchmarks a few months before the release of the K6-III? He showed the K6-III's advantage in Business Winstone 99 under Windows 98, and that created quite a stir, especially among the AMD faithful who were hoping that the K6-III would be the beginning of the downfall of Intel.

Well, because of the exact reasons that you state, K6-III's impact in the marketplace was less than expected.

Re: <I find it interesting that people judge a company's plans and speculate on its success without knowing what the actual plans are.>

Maybe no one told the consumer about these plans?

Mani - < I disagree 100%. K6III will happen >

Mani, I have heard a rumor from a reliable source that indicates AMD is having a hard time justifying committing manufacturing resources to this product, because the ROI is anticipated to be low. I admit, I have no hard data on this.
