Elmer, Re:"Very nice but how can I comment when there is no data? What was the system configuration, operating system etc? Furthermore what were the benchmark measurements? You guys have a right to be excited but nobody has presented any data yet. Let the dust clear." You are right, AMD probably doesn't know how to these measurements - I am sure they have never done them before. And remember the K7 is just a "foil". And remember AMD's 0.25 micron process is so slow they can yield anything faster than 300Mhz. Oh and AMD has a special process so as the gates get smaller the K7 is bound to get slower! Oh and they probably cheated with 10x the memory and the 100,000 RPM memories. With the Intel faithfull spewing so much "dust" I doubt very much if your "vision" will ever clear. Regards, Kash
