Batron is as expensive as like K6-3 to manufacture. Due to lack of clock speed, it sucks at 2800+ and 3000+ PR's. AMD is going to launch Athlon 64 in September (if they don't push it back again), Athlon classic was launched at similar time of 1999. Athlon "Classic" was not much future proof without on-die L2 cache and .25 micron manufacturing process. Athlon 64 looks similar with DDR333 and .13 micron. There was hard to find mobo/chipset for Athlon "Classic". Now it's hard to find MS-OS for x86-64. AMD was in trouble with K6-3 before launching Athlon, now AMD is in trouble with Barton.
Lots of similarities, isn't it strange?
