Re: "Think a little, if you were still at AMD you might consider two versions of the K7. One for the server and one for the desktop/workstation. The difference? You only have to look at Intel to figure that out. Can you?" If they are going to copy Intel's ideas again, they would use 1 die and differentiate at the package/slot level. That means that Socket7 is dead. What a cruel trick to play on those loyal AMD customers. What are they going to do for a chipset? The Alpha implementation is way to highend to waste on a PC. If they can't even keep their promise to deliver a Super7 chipset what are the chances they can deliver a desktop K7 chipset? EP
