K7 puts AMD at an 18 month or more advantage over Intel .

Brian,

18 months beginning when?


18 months since the presentation of K7 on Oct. 14, 1998. What really mean is that the K7 presentation gave the copycat the technology instructions teaching them how to design their next 32/64-bit K7 clone to compete with K7/M3. Intel has been blocked off the latest x86 technology since Digital Equip. suspected that Intel stole the Alpha technology while HP has been extremely careful on their own technology in designing Merced for Intel.

My guess is that Intel will announce an brand new core by end of this year. When it happened as MMX2 after 3DNow!, you should know who inspire the copycat!
