Re: "We might see 266mhz and 300mhz K7's." Keep in mind that AMD is really just about one speed bin behind Intel. 400 MHz Pentium II, maybe 450 MHz 333 MHz K6-2, maybe 350 MHz Considering the fact that Intel produces about 5 or 6 times as many chips as AMD does, they can (as a general rule) commercially introduce a new speed grade 5 or 6 times faster. This factor, plus design issues (latency/MHz tradeoff, etc.) account for at least one speed grade. Which puts AMD effectively one speed grade behind Intel in process technology. And closing....
