AMD Lowers K6 Shipment Forecast for 1998

The Sunnyvale, California-based chip vendor now expects to be able to ship only 12 million K6 processors this year, as compared to earlier forecasts of 15 million units, said Mark Lunsford, AMD's Tokyo-based director of marketing for the Asia-Pacific region and Japan. Lunsford revealed the lower production target at a forum here dedicated to discussing how a faster 100MHz system bus will boost the performance of forthcoming processors, including next-generation K6 iterations such as the K6-3D.
