The system bus, or the bridge between the main memory and the CPU, is also much improved for the K7. AMD is using a point to point bus, which provides better signal quality and thus better performance than the Pentium III bus, which is a shared bus.

AMD revealed it will begin with PC-100 SDRAM for its main memory, the most common DRAM used today, and then likely switch to PC-133, or 133 MHz SDRAM sometime later this year.

AMD did state they are not supporting Rambus DRAM at this time, and that they are currently leaning towards using Double Data Rate DRAM next year, or DDRDRAM, a competing architecture to Rambus. Roadmap For K7 Indicates Shipping In JuneAMD is targeting a 30% worldwide unit market share by 2001, twice their current 15% market share (units) and is implementing an aggressive plan to achieve these lofty goals.

Salude to all the "BUSSERS" - Norman!
