Summary of AMD at CeBit

"AMD

AMD showed several K6-2 and K6-III machines on the floor
and had a special exhibit in a caboose on top of their booth
where they ran Winbench on equally configured PIII/500
against a K6-III/450, where the K6-III visibly led the race.
Nothing really new but nicely demonstrated and the polish
computer traders I slipped in with were duely impressed.

The cherry on top of course was the K7 system that ran on the
table beside that, it was clocked at 600 MHz and showed first
that it would run the Winbench itself without stability
problems and visibly a good deal faster than the other two
machines.

As a second sample a demo of Viper Racing ran on this K7,
which worked together with a Voodoo3-2000 for display,
which worked just fine as well, no frame rate display though.

Finally AMD gave me some information on the K7 and board
used, which I took a picture of to be seen here tomorrow. The
K7 will initially ship in the second quarter, at speeds in excess
of 500 MHz and with 512 kB to 8 MB of L2 backside cache,
clocked from 1/3 to full CPU speed, depending on your
budget and needs.

The demo K7 ran on a reference design board with their own
AMD chipset."

The article kind of hints that the AMD display was public, but doesn't say outright. I emailed the author of the article to find out.
