Re: "What is your definition of "7th generation"?

I don't want to try to define "7th" generation, I'll let Intel do that shortly. But I think we can say what 7th generation isn't. K7.

I think the 2 chips (CuMine & K7) are extremely close. The benchmark differences are negligible. K7 appears to have a binsplit advantage however I don't believe the published analysts binsplit guesses for a second. I think it is much closer that published reports.

In the final analysis I believe the K7 is a fine chip, that's why I stay long AMD. However I think it is clear that claims of superior design fall flat when no superior performance results.
