Re: "It is painfully obvious from looking at the K7 architecture that the clock for clock FPU performance is less than a Pentium classic, MII, K5, or C6- as the "Foolish Squid" has reported. Wouldn't you agree? "

Yes I do agree (surprise!!!). The FPU performance will eventually prove to be much better than those benchmarks show. I am as convinced as you are that something was turned off. I expect the K7 will outperform the PIII in FPU but perhaps not the Coppermine with it's on die L2, or the Xeon with it's much larger though off die L2. Time will tell. You can't capture the market on FPU alone. I want to see integer performance while running WinNT. That's the highend where the K7 can command higher ASPs.
