Cirrulsvr,

Re:"The following is a purely hypothetical question for the sake of argument: What if one processor beats the other in benchmarks clock for clock but the other processor equals or beats the performance at a higher MHz, and great availability? Again, just for the sake of argument. I don't know (and neither do you :-))the Coppermine benchmarks, so any following discussion would have to be in a hypothetical sense."

As we all know this is likely to happen if Intel can get Cumine up to 700 plus range as advertised therefore their 0.18 micron will match AMDs 0.25 micron K7.

Basically in Q4 AMD will sell every Athlon they make and Intel will sell every cumine they produce.

The big battle is Q1/Q2 2000 when AMD's 0.18 comes on line and dresden comes on line. If Intel cannot match the Mhz ramp of AMDs 0.18 micron Al and Cu process then u better get ready for a stock implosion.

Of course no-one truly expects AMD to ramp flawlessly to 5-10M cpu/qtr in 0.18 micron within 6-8 months.

Except maybe the kamikaze boys.

Kash

At this point AMD's K7
