Tench: Part of the problem is that the K7 infrastructure is immature right now because of chipsets, lack of on-die L2 cache, manufacturing concerns like the transition to the 0.18 micron process, etc. Once the infrastructure reaches the maturity of the P6 infrastructure, then we can really see the K7 take off. But how long will that take?

Exactly. The problem is not so much CPU performance, but rather the underlying (chipset) infrastructure. How long will it take? Given AMD/VIA/ALi 's track record: too long. Unfortunately. Hopefully, VIA and ALi are properly motivated, since without AMD they would be in a perilous situation.
