Chuck: One thing that would probably tip the scales is if CuMine with PC133 would come close to K7 but that appears unlikely... It seems to me that people are underestimating CuMine somewhat. All indications are that it will be about 10% faster than a PIII in SPECint and SPECfp - based alone on the 256kB on-die L2 cache. Add to that a vastly improved chipset (including improved memory subsystem - be it using DRDRAM or PC133). This should further increase the performance. What improvements will there be in the K7 chipsets - or will the K7 be somewhat slowed down by an underperforming chipset? As for the MHz race... All indications are that Intel will have .18mu out several months before AMD. Surely this should go some ways towards eliminating the architectural advantage of the K7, no? At least until AMD can counter with a .18mu process of their own. (err... of Moto's, that is :)). --fyodor
