"Just in time when AMD announced it's delay shipment of K6-2, Intel decides to produce 500 thousand Slot 1 processors.
As for AMD, the delay phase out of K6-2 can pair up with Duron to "sandwich" Intel Celerons market. This is becasue K6-2's mainboard is cheap but Duron mainboards are expensive. The delay of the phase out date of K6-2 results Duron+mainboard combination higher than Intel Celeron+Mainboard.
As for Intel, Celeron is no longer a competitor to Duron. Intel is trying to deter the AMD camp by using lower end Pentium III Slot 1 proecssors. This is exactly the same when AMD first announces Duron, it still manufactures the K7-550 to attack Celeron 566. When the Slot 1 P3s are out, Celeron's mission is to target K6-2, while the target of AMD Duron will be the new Pentium III."
