Re: "In other words, the first K7 will be faster than 500 MHz. This is what AMD has been saying all along, the journalists just don't like to believe it. From some other quotes from the chat session, I think its a fair assumption that the K7 will debut at 600 MHz with 200 MHz independent busses to the L2 cache and main memory.

Read especially the 4 last 11/21/98 posts."

Please John, don't start relying on this type of nonsense. You might as well rely on foils. Available data says the K7 runs Godzilla DVD flicks pretty good. Nothing new here as the P2 runs them in software pretty good too. Rest assured. The Intel processors will beat the K7 when the K7 finally appears. Here's the AMD style data to prove it.............................................................................................

Petz - Re: "recent online AMD chat session says, "there is no 500 MHz
K7""

What the heck does an Internet Chat session have to do with an AMD part that AMD says won't be introduced for 6 more months?
