Elmer: You have asked for SpecInt and SpecFp benchmarks for K7 from AMD. Dirk Meyer gave them tonight for 600 Mhz K7 vs 550 Megahertz Xeon each with 512K cache. For Spec Int I saw the 600 Mhz K7 led by 20% on the foils. For Spec Fp I saw the 600 Mhz K7 led by 40% on the foils. For some 3D benchmark using 3D now vs SSE in PIII I saw 40% improvement. Notes from after the talk questions: 1.Better performance for SPEC FP could be obtained with processor specific compile. No special compiles were done for Spec Int and Spec FP. 2. 3D bencmark compares only subset of 3Dnow in K6 with SSE not new instructions. Of course these are just foils, so don't worry he probably just imagined it. Dirk confirmed rollout in June, 1999. Parts with .18 micron in Q4'99. Options for backide L2 cache card configuratin in Q4'99. New processor core for specific markets (mobile, server, etc) in 2000. 19 new instructions added to 3D for Multimedia Stream support. (MP#, AC-3, soft modems, soft ADSL). Software support for 3DNow in Microsoft Visual C++ (Studio) as disclosed in Microsoft WinHEC.
