Man, why can't people get it? The P7 isn't going to be a K7-equivalent. I would hope not! Yet I haven't seen anything in the K7 core design that is vastly different from the P6 core. In other words, the K7 doesn't introduce anything new; it just features more of what made the P6 so powerful. Like I said, this is the "Ford Mustang" approach to CPU design. Whatever you call it, it is a more advanced design than the P6. In particular, it can be expected to outperform the P6 by a wide margin on x87 code. The only window of opportunity for AMD is the short time between the K7 introduction and the introduction of Coppermine and Cascades, Intel's first 0.18-micron products. I don't agree. I think that with this new microarchitecture AMD can compete even with a process disadvantage. It is unlikely that AMD will have 0.18 in full swing before early 2000, and by then, there will be yet another small window of opportunity before Merced, Willamette, and Foster. The window looks pretty large to me. Merced is irrelevent. The initial 0.18u P7 won't be much of a factor.
