Re: "Gee, Intel might have a surprises up their sleeve for KNI...who would have thought? "

AMDolts have hung their hopes on the notion that Katmai will simply be a Deschutes with MMX2. Their expectation that the K7 will outperform Intel's offerings could be in for a surprise. Other rumors have Intel doing something with the FPU performance as well. Like you said, Who would have thought?

RE: [No KNI compatibility = No CPU sales] I agree Joey.

Windows 98 not KNI compatible.
Windows 95 not KNI compatible.
Windows NT not KNI compatible.
No business applications are KNI compatible.
No games are KNI compatible.
No game patches for KNI.
No DirectX release for KNI.

But what CPU were you referring to that would have no sales?

Re: "No KNI compatibility = No CPU sales"

Guess nobody will buy the Celeron, then.

If KNI is good, AMD will implement it in their .18u version of the K7. If it's a useless waste of silicon like MMX, I'm guessing that AMD will continue to push 3DNow.
