Elmer, Re <<...These samples perform very well, in fact they perform better than Intel's counterparts in most benchmarks. What you and the others disciples don't seem to realize is that this doesn't constitute a product. A product is something that can be manufactured in volume.

Good enough. I guess we will have to take a wait and see approach. Keep in mind that AMD never promised consumers will have a K7 by June. Earliest estimated date was July per sanders per CC ("as early as July").

I have here 3 questions for you:

1. What is YOUR definition of a "volume product"?
2. What is your criteria for product "existance"?
3. What is your timescale for "foreseeable future"?

Let me guess that your answer will be that
a "volume product exists" only if the company stock
is appreciated 20 times over the next 15 years.
Otherwise, in your definition, it is still a "foil".
Right?

Elmer,

The current production volume on the K7 should be something that is bothering Intel investors, not AMD investors. And I'm not saying anything else.. just read around the web, the information is starting to slowly seep out of the fab plants.
