Re: "I don't think we've seen the limits of the K7 .18 core yet... why should they run more than one volume speed-grade above Intel?" I don't think you have seen the limits of either yet. My point was that claims of superiority get pretty stale when AMD can't ever produce superior performance. They've had a full year to produce a superior processor. They have a larger on-die cache. They have a faster memory bus. They have 3 FPU execution units compared to only 2 for CuMine. They now have their own optimizing compiler for their "superior" FPU. They have all the advantages on paper but when the rubber meets the road they have no performance advantage. What's the message here? Does Intel simply have a superior design? Was AMD simply blowing smoke the whole time when claiming 7th generation architecture? If AMD was telling the truth then just where is the superior performance? EP
