Yup, by then K7 will have L2 on die.

1c Profits,

Re: "AMD will have a nice 6 month head start over Intel with their 7th generation
offering."

The problem is ProfitsBob that AMD will have the K7 in their .25um process
maybe operating at 450mhz ... while ... Intel has their CPU's on a .18um
process with speeds starting at 600+mhz. Not much to worry about, IMHO.

Hope this helps.

Make It So,
Yousef

We'll just have to wait and see how the K7 fairs against the Willamette/Foster. AMD will have a nice 6 month head start over Intel with their 7th generation offering.

Only 6 months? The P7 isn't due until "late 2000, early 2001" according to Intel.

(What the heck happened at Intel? Only 2 years between P5 and P6, and now 5+ years to P7!)
