<<Behind closed doors, IBM is demonstrating the computer at PC Expo here, according to sources. IBM would not comment.>> Most important piece of information so far: Both chip and infrastructure are working properly!!! <<Athlon-based PCs are expected to start hitting store shelves when the chip goes into volume production toward August, said sources, and run at 500 MHz, 550 MHz, and 600 MHz, with faster speeds following. A press conference today at 2:30 p.m. PT may provide details on the K7/Athlon release.>> Seems to conform with the original K7 launch schedule, unless the reporter was misled. <<"Megahertz doesn't really matter all that much anymore," said Carl Everett, a senior vice president at Dell Computer in charge of the personal systems group. He said that the faster the speeds get, the less discernable the improvement, because the percentage improvement diminishes as the number gets bigger.>> Forget the Dell rumor. It is a concerted effort from both Dell and Intel to discredit the mhz lead AMD will have over Intel shortly
