Re: "My reaction to Dirk's presentation was that they did everything right on K7. The best Intel can hope to do in the x86 arena is to achieve parity with Willamette. Coppermine will be left behind in the dust."

Assuming the SPEC ratios presented Thursday night were representative of the K7 AMD will be shipping, and I have no reason to doubt them, I think your conclusion is correct regarding FP however I think INT will be a different story. Coppermine will likely match K7 in INT or slightly beat it. Nevertheless, the K7 is an excellent design. The question is, will it be a successful product?
