Elmer,

We were discussing its success vs. Intel, not its profitability. If you are going to assume that the K7 will not be profitable, that is your right. It doesn't mean that yours is a correct assumption, however. Hindsight is 20/20. But history rarely repeats itself.

For the first time in the semi industry, the most fully pipelined CPU will not be made by Intel. If you can't see that the industry is changing, you may find yourself one step behind the game.

Whereas you see my age as hindering me, I see it as an incredible benefit. Am I a naive investor? No. How long have I owned INTC (and/or INTCW)? Since 1990. I bought in the midst of a large correction as for your "college student bull session" crap. I confidently say that I know as much about the actual stock market as anyone here. Whether you know more about the future of the semiconductor industry remains to be seen. The story isn't told yet.

You think I don't know about the real world? I pay a mortgage. I have a platinum card. I run a business. I'm a contributing member to society and pursuing the American Dream as actively as anyone.

And on a final note, the K7 will certainly be "real silicon" before the Williamette, or even the revised Pentium III known as "Coppermine" to geeks like us.
