<One could argue that the PPro is the most successful core of all time for CPU's, based on the above criteria (ability to make a sustained profit). If I were a designer of such a product, I don't believe I would be embarrassed.>

Ain't that the truth. I've always said that the P6 strategy is analogous to Honda taking a car design from a single factory and selling it in three versions: a $10,000 economy model, a $25,000 family model, and a $50,000 luxury model.

I think AMD might be hoping for the same with the K7, which is why they're betting the whole farm on it.
