Hi Jim , 100% increase in F.P. over PII
now that's what I call a next generation CPU , just like the performance increases between 386 , 486 and 586 .
Thanks for K7 preview ,
Their comment about the die size being huge . The Celeron a
I believe is around 150mm and is Intel's low end .
K7 should be sold at a higher price than any of Intel's present offerings , I am sure AMD will make a huge profit since the cost of such a die would be roughly 2x K6-2 i.e. $75 but the selling price should be up in Intel's top end prices and more i.e. $500+
regards , Brian
