Re: "Here at WinHEC AMD demonstrated a 600MHz K7 with the 200MHz memory bus, 128MB of 100MHz memory and a chip set of its own design. " While AMD was demoing a very controlled behind the curtain type of presentation at maybe 600mhz, Intel has been demoing 1000Mhz systems with cooling and 800Mhz systems with no cooling in full view of the public. Why is AMD ashamed to publish benchmarks? "The K7 will begin life as a chip for desktop PCs. " Notice how AMD has backpeddled their position from "fastest processor on the planet" to just a processor for the desktop? Perfectly in keeping with their refusal to compare the Kmart-7 (tm pengel) with either Xeon or the upcoming Coppermine. EP
