Tenchusatsu, The point of my earlier post is that Intel is not overwhelming anyone with their roadmap. I apologize for being mistaken about Willamette/Katmai core, however, you missed my point. It may appear that Intel is coming out with numerous processors, but reality is there is only 4 cores (P6, Katmai, Willamette/Foster, Merced/McKinley). The K6-2 and K6-3 compete nicely against the P6 and Katmai, whereas the K7 competes directly against the Willamette/Foster. And K7 with 8Mbytes L2 cache will crush Willamette/Foster in performance. And Merced/McKinley are so far out that AMD will have plenty of time to respond. And now that they have Intel's roadmap, will be able to differentiate themselves over Intel. So what appears to be an overwhelming performance advantage from Intel is no performance advantage at all. Profits
