Re: "Raza: We don't need to. We have a blanket cross-license with Intel for all its patents. So if we choose to be compatible with Katmai, we can be. There nothing to stop us."

Maybe, maybe not. AMD claimed to have the rights to the original MMX instruction set and name too but finally backed down and bought a license from Intel when threatened with a suit. Does Intel agree that AMD has the rights? They've played this game before.

Re: "Like what? Anything that can beat out K7. Don't be shy, give me the dope."

Pat, it is not at all clear that the K7 will beat Intel's existing products at the time it is released, much less any new products Intel may have at or near introduction in that timeframe. The K7 is long on hype and short on facts. Just like the K6 was and the K5 before it. Don't be too surprised if the reality falls short of the hype. Paul Engel has done a nice job of describing Intel's product roadmap and I think there is even a website (toms?) that has an Intel processor roadmap page on it. It's probably not completely accurate but interesting nonetheless. Maybe someone will post a link.
