Ten, RE:"As for the K7, it's marketing position is confusing. If it's going to be on the Digital EV6 bus, then is the K7 going to be a server/workstation CPU to compete against Xeon? If it's going to be a replacement for the K6 line, then won't the EV6 bus be a little too costly? How viable will the EV6 bus be in an x86 system? Once again, the platform is key." Again, we agree... Don't be surprised if the K7 is spread over various platforms. A server chip, a workstation chip even a high end consumer chip. And upgradable to an Alpha Chip... The die size is smaller than you might think... With the K6-3 as a plug in replacement for the K6-2 we will see Socket 7 for at least another year so I suspect the K7 and K6 lines will co-exist for at least a year. I suspect both will be made on .18u as well. So, you think the Katmai will be called the Pentium II plus? Well, unlike the Celeron, the Pentium has a pretty good name so I'd expect Intel to use the name further. Pentium II+ or Pentium III. Pentium II MMX2.... Jim
