Kap - RE: "AMD K7 to launch 28 June at 600MHz"

If so, my guess would be right!

"Sources said that AMD will formally introduce its K7 processor on the 28th of June and will have one processor running at 600MHz."

Great, we're not gonig to hear the end of that...

"As you might expect, the K7 will not be called the K7. It could be called the Alereon (see earlier story), but we hope to have more details on this later today."

AMD would be very stupid if they named the K7 - Alereon. I don't see it happening.

"Processors will ship to system integrators on the 3rd of August. In the first two weeks of August, there will be volume shipments of the product, and at introduction time, AMD will also have tier one vendors demoing machines based on the K7."

Steve's info comes through.

"Gateway is a definite, and it is likely Compaq will not be far behind."

Gateway AND Compaq is very good (esp. compared to the K6 launch).

Alereon?? If they name it that in the U.S. market, I'm taking any $$ I have in AMD and doubling up on INTC. Probably speaking about the silly UK market though, where names like that are considered cool.
