Embedded Processor Report: AMD says K7 chip will hit 1GHz in early 2000. * K7 Chip to Hit 1 GHz in 2000 As an interesting sidelight to this agreement, AMD said that its K7 microprocessor will hit 1-GHz (1,000-MHz) speeds in early 2000--less than two years from now. Such a chip would be the fastest x86-compatible processor (at least, in terms of raw clock speed) available, outstripping Intel's plans for its Deschutes, Covington, Mendocino, Tanner, and Katmai chips (see Microprocessor Report, 7/13/98, p. 1). AMD said the first K7 chips will be produced in a 0.25-micron process, but that it expects its Dresden (Germany) plant to be producing 0.18- micron wafers--using the copper interconnect it gains from Motorola--by early in 2000. In the newer process, the company said K7 will run at 1 GHz. * About Embedded Processor Watch -------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, mailto:join-embedded@list.MDRonline.com
