Re: "AMD is only promising what they can realistically promise--that the K7 will be faster than ANY sixth generation processor, Intel or otherwise." You didn't read AMD's own words Kevin. They said any >>CURRENT<< sixth generation processor. Let me post AMD's own words for you again so you can get their statement straight. "K7 will outclass any current Intel design based on 6th generation PII, including XEON". Willamette is NOT a sixth generation processor. AMD acknowledges they are not comparing the K7 to P7 generation processors such as Willamette, nor are they comparing the K7 to FUTURE P6 generation designs such as Katmai and Tanner much less Coppermine. I didn't make this up, I'm just quoting AMD. If you have an argument with AMD's admission, then take it up with them or better yet argue with Petz, he's the one who posted the link. EP
