I'm new here, but long on AMD, and that is all that matters. I have noticed there are a few pro-INTC, anti-AMD people here, and all I can say is they need to get a life, or realize AMD is for real now.
I don't know if this link has been posted yet, but it is another great read of the K7. eet.com
I'll quote the juiciest part here:
“If I were Intel, I would be a little nervous"
"Asked by one engineer to quantify the K-7's advantage over Pentium II processors in terms of floating point, Diefendorff said, “there certainly will be applications where it delivers 2x [i.e., double] on a per-clock basis. If AMD is able to achieve the 500-MHz performance goal — and they seem very very confident of that — then you just about are not going to do any better than this in an X86 architecture."
If AMD can keep up the production triumphs it has had lately, and sustain them through '99, especially when the K7 is scheduled to come out, they will pose a serious threat to Intel's yearly growth rate. Jerry HAS failed in the past, but things are looking the best now.
Is there any way to post a message without directly replying to someone?
Thanks |
