Paul, Re:"Just when did AMD win "the war at the high end " ? As I recall, they are not even SHIPPING this "winner" yet." The benchmarks are clear and they are in: The K7 BLOWS away intels SERVER chip by 40%!!!! AMD's server version of K7 with up to 8MB of cache will DESTROY the Xeon spec marks. In fact they will clean up the Alpha/HP marks as well. And as far as shipping. You bet your A$$ they are shipping right NOW!!! However being capacity constrained AMD will switch some K6-2 capacity to K6III and K7 capacity. With end PC unit volumes running 20% over last year and AMD capacity constrained and Cyrix basically dead:This will be good for both AMD and Intel IMHO. Regards, Kash
