Cirruslvr,

"Ouch, the 450MHz K6-2's price is about drop below $100, per Pricewatch."

Looks like Intel's June 6th price cuts are already coming into picture. This is a little sooner than what I was expecting. Laptop mix seems to be better but it is going tough to improve ASPs this quarter without a significant contribution from K7.

Funny thing is analysts may not care because they expect AMD to post significant losses. But, this is definitely more of an "ouch" to Intel shareholders. Boy, am I not glad I got out in time!

Chuck

Fear not.

This simply means that AMD's yields continue to soar - and are now well above 110% !

This lowers costs dramatically.
