Tony Viola: <<Can you substitute CPU chips in for Xeons? Doesn't matter, even if AMD were to pull off the big upset, it doesn't mean the boys that make servers would go with AMD. Remember who has the infrastructure support, best FIT rates, RAS, yields and availability of large quantities of chips practically guaranteed. In the case of servers, these are much more important than a little more speed. Ask IBM, Compaq, Dell, HP, anyone. This isn't about overclocking chips or some 16 year old's benchmarks. The server boys have their own benchmarks.>> To be able to sell servers to IBM or CPQ it must pass IBM's and CPQ's internal proprietary benchmarks not some garbage Winstone benchmark. IBM and CPQ will know which system is better. K7 will outrank Xeons. Who is talking on overclocking? The K7 is all raw speed. If AMD can pull off the biggest upset then my AMD investment will have met its objective. Maxwell
