Elmer - RE: "Runs neck n neck if you only run 1 benchmark on a single processor desktop system and be sure to avoid FPU altogether." I should have said "AMD has a processor that can run neck to neck with Intel's most powerful desktop processor". But besides that, in the real world, which type of applications are run more often? Mainly integer based or mainly FPU based? You and I know the answer. RE: "As for your K7 claims, I have been asking for someone to back that up for many months now but all I ever got were foils. The K7 has never been seen in public and furthermore AMD has never even shown a "Technology Demonstration Example" that could run at 1/2 the speed Intel has already shown in public. The K7 will remain behind Intel processors in performance for it's entire lifetime." That broken record just won't quit will it? Yes, I am buying into the hype of the K7. You will too when it comes out. Resistance (or in this case, Denial) is futile. You obviously won't believe anything in this link because it is all simulated, but I think you should read it. aceshardware.com Also read this one in which a guy posts what he heard from AMD's K7 Product Line Director. storm3d.com
