PB,
Barrett didn't say these things. Your blessed Register did.
Intel did a fairly prominent demo of something resembling a PIII at 1GHz a few weeks ago. As for The Ragister, they are claiming to have K7 benchmarks tomorrow:
Intel will pay $3K for AMD's K7
Inside Intel, there is a deal (or a competition) where if someone gets hold of an AMD K7 and its details, the successful winner will get $3,000.
But at The Register, here in London, we will pay $2,000 for the same part.
We will then attempt to sell it to Intel for $2,500, thus making $500 on the part.
We know samples are out there and we are serious. Give us a K7 sample, Dell and Gateway, or whoever, and we will pay you $2,000.
On the nail.
And as we're talking Coppermine et al, would you care to look at benchmarks for the Intel thang and Jerry Sanders the Third's K7?
They are on a Stanford University site. But all the students are on holiday. We'll publish them tomorrow... ®
