Re: "Whoever wrote that article was obviously an idiot.
Anyone care to wager a case of beer that K7 will be faster than Katmai clock for clock on Winstone or Winbench or whatever it is?"

But the K7 is supposed to be a highend server/workstation processor. Don't tell me AMD is going to rely on Win98 with 16bit code and "Mutant Alien Blaster" (tm EPhud '98) benchmarks to backup their claims? I don't think so. They'll need to show Spec and TpmC benchmarks. Also clock for clock won't cut it either. If the K7 is a 7th generation chip it will need both operations per clock and lots of clocks.
