Re: "All I know is, for the first time in history, Intel won't have the fastest bus speed or the best FPU setup. I'm kind of worried about my INTC (not really, don't own enough). Intel's biggest chance at continued glory is if no major vendors other than Compaq pick up on the K7. Of course, if Compaq's K7 sales were brisk, everyone would want a piece. "

Benjamine, let's get real. Like so many other fans of the K7, you seemed focused on the marketing presentations and foils, and seem to have no regard for the business end. AMD is bleeding big time. Having the expectation of the best specs on paper may be gratifying to you. It wouldn't be to me. Having more design wins for the K7 would be in Intel's best long term interest because AMD has shown over and over again that the more processors they produce the more $20 bills they ship with them. But it's worth it right? I mean this is about bragging rights and not about making money, but you knew that didn't you.
