Scumbria, <AMD did not go far enough with K7.> Interesting! I thought the K7 was a pretty good compromise. A few questions: - Do you see a reason to support higher MHz than Athlon can do for 2000? - Don't you think the Sledgehammer core coming in 2001 could be sufficient to keep up with the competition? - What is your take on Winchip's 18-stage pipeline for Winchip 5 (or some other WInchip) - How do you see the impact of a longer pipeline on server class products (long qual cycles, frequency ramp issues with large on-die caches and impact of reduced Integer performance on a per MHz basis) - How deep would you have gone and why?
