Re: "It's going to be clock speed, not performance per clock that does it. The K6-3 was a better chip clock for clock than the Pentium III for business applications - and was unable to compete due to its lower clock. If the performance is roughly similar clock for clock this will be a pure "megahertz sells" outcome for whichever company can stay ahead." The K63 wasn't a success because AMD couldn't manufacture it, but regarding the CuMine - Athlon duel, Haim reminds me that the K7 may benefit as well from Intel's compiler optimizations. Time will tell as we watch this play out. EP
