Elmer, I know you want to see benchmarks for the K6-3 and K-7 but isn't it customary to wait until the chips are released? Especially in light of the Klamath debacle a few years ago when Tom Pabst got a hold of a pre-production version of the Pentium II and it didn't bench nearly as well as the production version. Let's assume that the K7 and K6-3s shown at comdex are as fast as the production versions will be. Why in the world would AMD want to release benchmarks so the Elmers of the world could scrutinize pre-production versions? The demo of the K6-3-400 easily beating a Pentium II-450 (at what I don't know) was just to prove the point that clock for clock the K6-3 is faster. I repeat, (over and over) that we won't see the K6-3 until the K6-2 yields at 450...which will likely mean the K6-3 is yielding at 450. Jim
