Kevin, I liked this part. AMD will be demonstrating both the chip and the accompanying chipsets and boards. The K7 demonstration at Comdex will run at over 500 MHz. Early K7 adopters are expected to use the chip in desktops, both for the home and business. Eventually, however, the chip could be AMD's beachhead to get into servers and workstations, some observers have said. AMD itself is aiming the K7 for business use. Intel's next generation chip, the Katmai, will come out in the first quarter of 1999. The processor, however, will not be demonstrated at Comdex, said an Intel spokeswoman." ----- AMD has working K7 Silicon and the Katmai is a no show. Actually, by my "estimates" the K7 has been working Silicon since July...at speeds well in excess of 500 MHz...it may well show up at speeds of 600Mhz or better at Comdex. Hummmm... Jim
