<K7 is designed for MHz. It is interesting that you are arguing from the old Cyrix point of view- i.e. architectural performance per clock.>

The way some people are talking, you'd think the K7 will outperform the Pentium III by at least 40%. Now the story is that the K7 will achieve high MHz faster than Pentium III.

AMD has set their own goal of 1 GHz by the end of 2000. Given that Intel will increase the P6's maximum clock speeds by 50% this year to 667 MHz (at least), then if past performance is an indicator, Intel will easily achieve 1 GHz before the end of 2000.

This is, of course, assuming that the P6 core still has gas left in it. It seems to me that you're hoping this isn't the case when you predict the K7 will surpass the P6 in MHz.

Or maybe AMD is sandbagging?
