<Paul - re: The AMD situation then becomes the usual - sell the K7 as a cheaper alternative.

Trouble is, the K7 will cost a LOT MORE than a Pentium /// - 184 sq. mm (vs. 122 for P3), new chip sets, new motherboards, new risks, etc.)

AMD will be back where they started from.>

Paul,

You forgot to mention that on 0.18 the K7 die is 108 to Coppermine's 122. K7 will be ahead of Coppermine in MHz and it's not dependent on Rambus.
