Scumbria,

Well there are several reasons the ship date is that far out. First of all the K7 isn't like the K6, etc. It doesn't just drop into an established motherboard, with established chipsets. You need to give at least 3 months lead time for chipsets to be built and maybe another 2 weeks for motherboards.. add some overhead, some testing, and you have 5 months..

5 months = 1h99 (late Q1, early q2, hence 1h)

Steve

If K7 is in such good shape, why is the ship date so far out? Something doesn't sound quite right about this scenario.

Anyone know when the K7 taped out? It generally takes about 12 months to take a new CPU design from tape out to production (your milage may vary, etc).
