Re: "K7 will be the most powerful X86 in the world. It will put the Xeon as the "second class" CPU. K7 would be so popular that AMD would never make enough to satisfy everyone"

You forgot to mention that it will also cure cancer, stop wars, end world hunger and we will all be happy forever more. Thank God for the K7.

re:It will be widely used as servers and it will be a preferred system over Xeon because it will be so much faster than the Xeon.

Maxwell, I'll believe it when I see it. A good litmus test will be on Oct. 15 to see how many of the big server vendors participate in the K7 introduction. I predict: ZERO.

Maxwell,

Re: "K7 will be the most powerful X86 in the world. It will put the Xeon as
the "second class" CPU."

Maxwell, where will this "powerful" CPU be built ... In the egaFlop25
(tm PREngel) ?? The process engineers there couldn't even get the .35um
and .25um processes running without serious speed and yield problems. Maybe AMD
will "outsource" this to Motorolo ... or .. maybe even Intel. <ggg> The MegaFlop
engineers are a joke.

Make It So,
Yousef
