Re: "Also, I thought it was your opinion that the K7 won't compete with XEON." It won't. It will compete with the Willamette core, which we know even less about than K7. (Actually we know about the same amount on either processor, because what we do know about K7 regards the Alpha bus, and I suppose Willamette will probably stick to the existing PII bus.) If AMD introduces K7 for servers at comparable clock speeds to Xeon, it will undoubtedly beat Xeon clock for clock (sixth vs. seventh generation technology). That, obviously is a big if--we don't know exactly what AMD's K7 plans and capabilities are yet. When the Willamette core comes out, K7 will have a run for its money. The good news is that AMD's seventh generation product is ahead of Intel's. We're more confident in AMD these days because the yield problems are history and it looks like AMD's window of opportunity is opening rather than slamming shut. Kevin
