Brian, what are your credentials ? Obviously I have some interest in being anonymous, but I can tell you that I have designed several high volume RISC and x86 CPU's, as well as PC chipsets and most recently, a 3D graphics accelerator. Scumbria

Brain, Re: "There are many individuals who post on S.I. who purport to be of the highest technical knowledge and understanding ... what are your credentials ?" That's a good one, Brain ... Questioning someone's credentials. How about yours. Remember, IBM had to let you go because you didn't know which end of the "soldering iron" to pick up. To help us better understand your credentials Brain, please point us to your technical posts here on the AMD thread ... Didn't think so. Make It So, Yousef

Brian - re: " Two examples come to mind Yousef ( who acts like a juvenile delinquent) and Paul Engel (no comment). " Why don't you remind us of the DISINFORMATION - supposed PRIVATE INFORMATION - you posted last December about improved yields at AMD - just before AMD posted an enormous 4'th quarter loss? I think you influenced suckers like Martin A-B to buy back in to AMD a second time and subsequently lose a SECOND BUNDLE OF MONEY and disapper from this thread. Paul

tomshardware gives K7 a very big thumbs up. Also, Dirk Meyer's slides are there. tomshardware.com Brian, been away for a week but just read Tom's review of the K7. With three full precision floating point units, three integer execution units (each with their own address calculation unit), 200 MHz bus, doubled L1 cache with integrated L2 cache controller it will scream. They've even pipelined the floating load/store units so "Intel optimized" memory moves will be at peak memory bandwidth. Petz
