Re: "The Xeons are poor performers because they are simply dresses up PII cores."

Sorry Kash but you just don't know what you are talking about. Check out:

tpc.org

Check out the comparisons by Price/Performance. Notice how all 10 of the top 10 are Intel boxes? This is why the Xeon is such a threat to Alpha, Sun and IBM etc. Funny, I didn't see any AMD boxes there. Why do you suppose that is?

kash-poor - Re: "the big question is the K7 performance. If it is simply on par with the next generation Xeons, the Intel will still do OK"

So now, everything is prefaced by IF !

I thought you had all the data that confirmed that the K7 would be superior to anything Intel will make.

No data, kash-poor ?

Lots of IF's, kash-poor?

That is VERY DISENGENUOS of you , kash-poor.

No credibility, kash-poor?
