Steve and Petz,

I'm going to monitor Athlon listings at Pricewatch for the next two months, and here is the first data set I compiled. I'm not sure how useful this is going to be, but I'll try to update it every week.

Nov 07, 99
Athlon CPU - Pricewatch
($xxx - lowest price, #xx = No. of Dealers)

Steve,

Soyo's K7 Motherboard: SY-K7AIA khyeap
Saturday, November 06, 1999 (11:14 PM Pacific Standard Time)

I stumbled upon information Soyo's upcoming K7 motherboard, K7AIA, tonight while I was browsing through Soyo's website. Here's the summary:

Single Slot-A for AMD K7 500 - 650 Mhz and faster
200 Mhz System Interface Speed
Auto-detect processor voltage
Clock multiplier 5.0x - 10.0x
ECC protection on system and cache interfaces
AMD-750 AGP chipset
3 DIMM for up to 768 MB PC100 SDRAM with ECC
5 PCI/ 2 ISA/1 AGP
UDMA-33/66
PC Health Monitoring (Winbond W83782D chip) with
voltage monitor, system health status detect,
system temperature sensor and CPU temperature
monitoring
Six-layer, ATX form factor

The K7-AIA product information sheet in PDF can be downloaded via Soyo's ftp site ftp://ftp.soyo.com.tw/product-info/SY-K7AIA.PDF . In case it disappears because of some huge cpu maker asking Soyo to dispose it off, a copy can be found locally aceshardware.com here at Ace's.

Now lets hope that Soyo will show off this motherboard at Comdex and that it will be available in the market soon.

Re: "Looks like iNhEL stole the p6 architecture from DEC."

I'm with ya on this one Stevie. An accusation is all we need! Couple that with Jim's report that someone he knows talked to someone who thought he saw 2 Intel reps look nervous and it's an air tight case!
