Chuck: As for 180nm: Once upon a time I thought that Intel had a significant lead - now I am not sure anymore. Have heard rumors to the contrary and Atiq is on record for saying 180nm will be up this quarter.

I agree with you on the process bit. W.r.t. the .25mu process, AMD had a much weaker design, yet they managed to keep 'relatively' close to Intel. To me that indicates that their process can't be that far behind, if at all.

Anyway, my main concern is not with the K7 CPU. It's with the K7 chipsets. I think Intel may well have a significant advantage here.
