Elmer...

Most important specs as established by Intel...

1. MHz lead, scalability.
2. FPU
10...down the line somewhere...integer.

So here's the rub...
1. Which chip will scale better, P-III or K7? Who will be able to maintain the MHz lead? Which design is old and relying on smoke and mirrors to eek out a few more MHz?
2. The FPU of the Athlon is much stronger than the P6.
10. Integer will be a closer race. K7 still winning.
But Intel has already poopooed this spec...to combat Cyrix mainly.

Intels' guns aren't so big any more.
