Tenchusatsu, >>>Thanks, Scumbria. I guess you're confirming what I've suspected all along, that the
K7 might be overdoing it on execution units and buffer sizes. But like I said
before, it's not a bad idea if you have a sizable transistor budget to work with in
the first place.<<<

Yes, but a company that has a history of being plagued with yield problems maybe should be extremely judicious with that budget.

Tony

Editing...As I catch up reading, I see that Scumbria said exactly this in post #72365.

There clearly has been some emphasis on maximizing K7 MHz, but
the architectural excesses are unwarranted..<<<
