I said in previous posts that 40% gain may possibly obtained by K7 in contrast with current PIII for FPU intensive applications assuming the the K7 is clocked at a 20% higher frequency than the PIII.

This was total speculation that a 20% gain for FPU ops on K7 was possible for the same clock rate as the PIII. This was a guess based upon considering the triple pipelined, out of order execution capable, awesome floating point processor in the K7. The current PIII has only two pipes, not three, and does not handle out of order execution well.

I believed a 20% clock advantage may possible at some point, not at introduction, for the K7. This advantage may occur as soon as December IMHO.
