<<Now considering that the K7 is going to be like a P6 with a few extra cylinders, there's no way that the K7's appetite for data is going to be that much bigger than the P6.>>

So you think the P6 architecture is that good? It is a 5 year old architecture. The branch prediction and decoders of P6 are ancient. You are trying to compare 1993 technology to 1999 technology.
