Maxwell - Re: ". I have much respect to the Nexgen designers and Atiq. When they say something you better believe it" Remember when Greg Favor said: "Favor disclosed that AMD-3D technology incorporates a new set of instructions that provide much higher performance in multimedia algorithms enabling ''real world'' modeling on the desktop and a significant performance boost that is visually striking to the end user running AMD-3D enhanced applications. The new technology also accelerates floating point intensive multimedia operations. The AMD-K6 3D processor will have a transistor count of 9.3 million and a die size of 81 square millimeters. Socket 7 Price, Performance Advantages Extended The AMD-K6+ 3D processor, scheduled for introduction in the second half of 1998, will add an on-chip 256K L2 cache, pushing the new K6 transistor count to 21.3 million with a die size of 135 square millimeters, smaller than the original AMD-K6 processor, with 8.8 million transistors. It also will support an optional L3 cache for enhanced performance, while maintaining Socket 7 compatibility and delivering performance up to 400 megahertz. " Is the Sharpy chip going to ship in the second half of 1998? NexGen said it would - didn't they ? Paul
