Linley Gwennap's response to my e-mail:

Thanks for the response. I can't address every point you raise, and certainly we will have to disagree in some areas. There are some assumptions I have to make, without having been briefed in on Willamette, that may turn out to be in error. If so, I will be happy to retract them at the appropriate point in the future. Please be assured that I did have official Intel representatives review this article, and they declined to point out any errors.

Regarding AMD, please consider that I may have information about the K7's performance that has not been made public. I agree that AMD could fail to execute on the K7, as it has with previous processors. Then again, it might not. The point I tried to make in the editorial is that Intel shouldn't be counting on AMD to fail. Intel should have a clearly superior technology. If Intel takes market share from AMD with superior technology, I doubt the FTC will do anything about it.


Well, Mr. Gwennap has been more than fair. I wonder what kind of secret information he has on K7's performance. He seems confident that the K7 can take the lead over anything that Intel can introduce before Willamette.
