Paul, Re: "3. The 184 sq. mm. K7 is very big and will be enormously expensive, considering
AMD's yields are in the 30% range at best."
30%? That is ultra, ultra low, in my experience, for a company supposedly in the business to stay. Do you mean that yield is for current product, like K6 stuff? How can AMD continue to survive, what with their bargain basement chip prices? Not only that, but, for the bazillionth time, what server vendor will seriously consider the K7, what with AMD's poor yields (and thus reliability) and financial situation? This is like beating a dead horse, this AMD talk.
