Pravin,

Intel's 0.18u process will allow them to really put it to AMD.

Not necessarily. The early 500MHz+ clock speeds of K7 are an indication of a solid microarchitecture. After the bugs are worked out and serious speedpath work begins, the clock speed should move up quickly.

Pravin - Re: "I'm sure there are plans to add L2 to the K7. I wouldn't be surprised to see a K7 with 128KB L1, 512KB L2 and 8MB L3 by the middle of next year."

Well, guess what other products Intel will have by that time ?

Come on, Pravin, you already gave us a "hint".
