RE:"AMD has said time and time again that the K7 is a "seventh-generation" processor. That implies that the K7 can blow away any sixth-generation processor like the Pentium III. They're even going as far as hinting that Intel will need Willamette in order to stay competitive"... ---- What are they going to say? That the K7 is the same generation as a K6? I haven't seen any benchmarks verifying your statement from AMD. Remember that when the Pentium 60-66 came out it was a next generation chip. I don't believe it was a whole lot faster than a 486-100 at the time. RE:"And Sharky Extreme has printed some rumors where OEM's considered the K7 performance to be disappointing."... Sharky says that the K7 will only debut at 500 MHz too. We'll see. Jim
