RE:"And I'd say that you are also a "Fab genius" too, Jim ... Now why would
AMD keep producing K6's when they could get much higher ASP's with
the K7 ?? Seems like that right strategy would be to raise the price
on the K6's to lower the demand and ramp the H*ll out of the K7 ...
That
is if you there are customers for the K7 ??!!"....

In time, Yousef. Obviously the K7 isn't ready for the big time yet, the die size is big and raising the price of the K6s would lose AMD market share, at this time.

Jim, not a FAB genius but thanks anyway.
