SK,

<<Why would K7 be positioned against Celeron? It is higher performance than PIII, Xeon or Coppermine.>

Because according to your fellow AMD buddy, "Mhz sells" ™ - Jim McMannis :)>

So, you are suggesting K7 will lag in MHz. Why do you say that?
Current Intel roadmap call for 600MHz PIIIs in Q4 and AMD roadmap calls for 650MHz K7s in Q3 and 700MHz K7s in Q4.

Could you calrify?

Chuck

SK,

I'm somewhat mystified by Jim's attempt to take credit for "MHz sells". There were a "few" people in the industry who were aware of this concept before Jim started posting it on SI.

Anyway, K7 MHz and architectural performance should easily outshine Celeron. I don't see them being positioned against eachother.
