For the record, K5 wasn't a bad design (it wasn't a great design either--don't get me wrong). The die size was too big, and AMD had bad manufacturing problems, but clock-for-clock it was faster than the P54C, about as fast as a P55C (excluding MMX) and almost as fast as a K6. I don't know if it's true that a lot of the K5 designers are on K7. I suppose that would have to depend on turnover among designers and how NexGen has been integrated (or not). I'd love to hear from anyone with some substantive information about this. Kevin
