Gary,
RE:"On this thread, I got the impression that Intel has the
dumpest management among those CPU makers and the only
reason they are still here is luck. So yes, Intel will
stand still and get rolled over once K7 is out and in
volume."...

You got the wrong impression.
It remains to be seen if and how far the K7 leapfrogs the Katmai and or Xeon. On the other hand, it seems that AMD has a realistic chance of this, more so than before. Also, entering the server market is THE most significant thing about it. From "0%" anything is up...
Jim

Better call up Intel to get their Willamette going. If not the K7 will roll over Intel. Once the K7 hits the street no one would want the old PII stuffs. Intel will try to deceive consumers by calling the PII as Katmai, Cascade, Xeon, Coppermine, blah, blah, blah.
