MikeyB - RE: *** K7 Chip to Hit 1 GHz in 2000 Is it possible for AMD to triple its clock speed in <2 years?? Yeah. Is it likely?? Hell NO!! What was the fastest AMD chip you could buy in December '97 233 MHz What speed did AMD promise to ship at least 500,000 of in 4Q'98? 400 MHz What is 400/233 1.72 What is 1.72^2? 2.95 How well did AMD do in meeting their production promises for 2Q'97? They promised an increase of at least 500K K6's. They actually increased production by 1,120K. All the above is not to say that there won't be any problems. A repeat of the 0.35u production problems on 0.18u and they become Motorola's flash subsidiary. Petz
