Elmer: Just about everyone has written an article on the K7. They all like it. I will wait for Gwennap to publish his Microprocessor Reports on the uPF. His team will dissect the K7 and hopefully will come up with an estimate on the Spec98int and Spect98fpu. Their analysis is fair and just about as good as anyone in the industry. So stay tune. All I have to say is that the K7 is a very "fast car". It is the X86 Lamborghini. It has 4X in performance in doing double-precision fp and 2X overall fp operations over PII core. On the integer side it is faster than the Alpha 21264. The K7 will excel in engineering CAD and engineering modeling as well as "blasting mutant ninja turtles". So don't be blinded by your hatred toward AMD. They have had their problems in the past but now Atiq is running the show. I encourage you to evaluate the situation more objectively. In the high tech business a competitive advantage is everything. Maxwell
