<The difference in clock speeds and architectural performance between K7 and the fastest RISC chips appears to be minimal.>

And the proof is where? I don't recall any SpecInt or SpecFP numbers submitted for K7. Meanwhile, the Alpha 21264 currently weighs in at 26 and 40, respectively. Merced is expected to match the 21264 or come pretty close, and McKinley is expected to blow it away. Are you saying that the K7 is in Merced territory?
