Re: P4 is starting to outpace the K7 Outpace it where? How? P4's actual speed is half its advertised speed - it's like Apple's ploy that it's 33MHZ FSB chip was a 66MHZ since it ran at 66MHZ internally. P4 can load instructions into the chip only every other clock. A P4 1800 is actually a P4 900/1800 - and the performance shows it. Intel's pulling the same crap Apple pulled when the 68030 couldn't scale with the 386. Intel double clocked (and double-double clocked) some internal units and used that frequency to cover up the fact that speed at which the chip can actually process instructions is too slow.
