<AMD has already demoed a cooled 0.25u K7 running at 1GHz, and they have announced plans to ship such systems by years end. What does that tell you about the raw clock speed of the design?>

Not much. Intel did a 0.25 micron 1 GHz cooled demo before AMD did. The only difference is that AMD is willing to sell some of these gee-whiz refrigerated K7 systems.

And no, I don't think the FPU was disabled in the Intel demo. Didn't you say that L1 cache was the limiting factor in clock speed, not the FPU?

June is four weeks away. As Jerry Sanders said, "We must have patience." ;-)
