Re: "Here are the things you have said in chronological order: 0) Talents are leaving AMD (thus K7 project, etc. are sinking). I guess you are speaking for yourself." I said the rumor in the valley was AMD was losing talent at an alarming rate. I believe the rumor. Re: "1) K7 only exists in foils, no silicon." I said AMD has only shown foils, no silicon. I believe this is still true. Re: "2) Thus AMD will demo only K7 foils at COMDEX." Please post a link where I said that. Re: "3) AMD will only have K7-400MHz system demo." I never said that but it may be true. Re: "4) K7 exists but they don't run benchmarks." Never said that Maxwell. I said AMD has never shown benchmarks. Re: "5) I assure you that the Intel processors blow away the K7." Hey Maxwell!! You got one right!!! 1 out of 5 ain't bad (for you). I did say that and I've presented the same evidence you have - NONE!! I've met the Maxwell standard and shot off my mouth while presenting nothing to back me up. Just like you. You should really be able to relate to that. Let me restate all those points so you won't be (more) confused. 1. The K7 may exist but so far it hasn't been seen in public. AMD has only shown foils. If it didn't exist AMD could still show the same foils. 2. You have promised a K7 demo at Comdex and I hope you are right. So far I haven't heard of one, has anyone? Maybe today? Until there is one the foils are all we have seen. 3. I have no idea what speed the K7 will run at and never claimed I did. Either silicon or foils. 4. The silicon may exist but there aren't any benchmarks. Do you have information otherwise? 5. I assured you the Intel processors will blow away the K7 and I presented the same proof you did. I shot off my mouth just like you and I didn't prove anything - just like you. EP
