Elmer - It seems clear that AMD announces its products before they're available, and that when they become available they're not ramped yet. This is contrary to Intel's practice of announcing products only when they're available for volume shipment. Given this, it seems justified that you should compare an AMD product's performance to the corresponding Intel product at the time in the future when AMD's product has fully ramped. Apples-to-apples. If you agree with this, when do you see K7 production to be comparable to an Intel part's production at introduction (factoring in relative production capacity, of course), and what do you see the relative performance to be at that time?
