FWIW, I've been occasionally lurking around this board (& very occasionally posting) for several years, and can assure you that Paul Engel is a very intelligent & well-informed individual. I think that he worked in the semiconductor industry for a number of years, and has a PhD in a related field.

He also can't resist the urge to skewer anyone showing even a hint of pro-AMD hyperbole, and in doing so will cheerfully use any piece of available data, out of context or not, in the process presumably infuriating most of the pro-AMD board readers. I've heard (but never read first-hand) that he has done the same to excessively enthusiastic pro-Intel posters on the Intel board. Try asking him a non-"AMD vs Intel" question and you'll be surprised at the intelligent answer you'll get!

BTW, as a "contrarian", I own AMD and (no Intel) stock. It's been awfully frustrating watching them come close, then blowing it, over and over. I hope you're right wrt the K7.
