Re: "Any techie out there want to deduce the performance?"

Maybe since KNI will be better than 3DNow, the only area where Katmai will outperform K7 will be "alien mutant blasting" applications (TM Elmer).

All:

The K7 is to be 9 issue. Would someone care to tell me how these are broken down. Is it 5 int and 4 fp, or what?

Maxwell - Re: K7 Backside Cache

I haven't figured it out yet from the minimal press releases, but does the K7 use ON-CHIP L2 cache or merely have a backside bus for addressing OFF-CHIP L2 cache?

The L1 on-chip cache seems pretty clear - 128 KiloBytes.
