Joey Re <<What a joke. K7 can't even compete on
parity with existing PIIIs!>>

According to AMD and benchmarks I have seen, K7 does just fine against PIII. The 9% discount is in price and is not based on performance. The discount is necessary to break into the highest end of the market. At 60% plus margin that Intel carries in this sector, it sounds reasonable to me.

Re <<Anyone with half-a-brain can see AMD is doomed for
failure with this strategy.>>

But if you have a full brain you might see the whole picture. :)
