<I don't recall anyone stating the K7 will be 40% faster.>

You ought to read your own links:

aceshardware.com

That guy says "If AMD can deliver on time (i doubt it), K7 will be at least 40% faster than anything Intel has for more than a year."

<So what looked like a possible BIG speed leap ahead of Intel is diminished by the time AMD puts out the K7.>

But the way AMD is talking, they make people think that Intel is just sitting in the sun wearing shades and sipping Pina Colladas.

Sure, the K7 might have a higher performance limit than the Pentium III. And sure, if everything else were equal, like on-die caches, 0.18 microns, and RDRAM support, the K7 could surpass Pentium III by a sizeable amount. The problem is that everything else isn't equal; Intel will have the lead in on-die caches, 0.18 microns, and RDRAM support, and you can bet Intel will be pushing those advantages along with higher clock speeds in response to the K7.
