With the K7 scheduled for release in 1H '99 (let's say June), Intel has about a year without competition in the server sector to rape its customers by charging $2,000 to $4,000 for Xeon chips. But, when the K7 is released, how much will prices drop? In one year, AMD has a chance of selling chips for $1,000 a piece.

< but also utilize a frontside L3 cache. Doesn't the Alpha bus use this type of bus technology? Any comments on potential performance? This could be a killer chip in 2H '98.>

The chipset could certainly support this, but so could a PII if Intel wanted to do it. It's not really a bus technology. Don't expect this to be a very cost effective solution though. If it was, Intel would be doing it with their chipsets.
