<The FP performance is rumored to be *at least* two speed grades better than PIII for most applications>

You words are consistent with what gossip I trust. The speedup action in the K7 is in the FPU and Multimedia processor. I believe that k7 will be 20% faster than PIII clock for clock using Specfp95 benchmark and nearly 30-40% with optimized compile.

Coppermine may be faster than PIII in FPU I do not have any estimates about this. I have been waiting for $70 to sell some Intel, but I may have a long wait if Intel chooses to over-react with pricing vs. gross margins against AMD.
