Jim and those better plugged into AMD, Do you have and idea the extent of AMD's Alpha license? We know about the EV6 protocol and the uP interface chips, as well as DRamBus to the interface chip. I also suspect that AMD has, or is negotiating to be, a manufacturer of Alpha at Dresden. My question concern the FPU for the K7. Is there any info if AMD also licensed the Alpha FPU implementation or will it be a more traditional pipelined implementation. 30+ SpecFP at 500MHz can do wonders for the X86 CAD and graphics workstation market. From the article posted by Milk (38651), "By 2000, it will run at 1000 MHz, the company (AMD) has said." The same roadmap shows Intel reaching 1000Mhz with Foster in 2001, or extrapolating, 800MHz in 2000. Also Intel's Coppermine and Cascades is shown to be released 2H 1999 at 600MHz. Does anyone know if they will be in .18um. My guess is they will, since Merced was supposed to debut in that time, so Intel will have .18um fab space available in 1999. Do you think there will be a live K7 demo at Up Forum? Care to guess where AMD shares will be after the uP Forum disclosure?
