Thanks for the article, Paul. Jerry said that a 300 MHz K6-2 would perform comparably to a 400 MHz Pentium II? Hee hee!

However, I still doubt that Dirk Meyer needs to resort to Jerry-isms to tout the K7. It's not like AMD needs another bullet in the head, you know.

Paul, RE: Sander's old "K6-2-300 beats Pentium II-400" statement.
He didn't tell us what the benchmark was back then, did he. In fact, we later found out it was 3D Winbench using 3DNOW optimizations. The difference now is that the benchmark is clearly stated. In fact, by using standard binaries, the K7 is fighting with one hand behind its back, AND WINNING.
