Tenchusatu, <..wait until the uP Forum to be sure. I sure can't wait to see what sort of architecture the K7 will feature.> Are you sure you have enough qualification to comprehend and judge? <AMD can't get there if it sticks with the current K6 design. It needs deeper pipelining, which I think the K7 will have.> Please tell this story to Yousef (Ph.D). Glad you understand this. Just imagine, AMD is capable to pump out 400MHz with 5-stage-deep design on K6 on 0.25, while Intel tops at 450 - 500 on the same feature size and 12--stage-deep pipeline. Could you do some math and tell us how much "worse" is the manufacturing technology at AMD? What they can reach with a new Alpha-style design, huh?
