RDM: QUESTIONS re Sampling

Readers anxiously awaiting the AMD K7 500 should see the poor volume levels of the K6-3
as a warning sign as to when the new mega-CPU will actually hit the market. Sharky
Extreme believes that a date of late July 99 is accurate at this point, with high volume
occurring in late August or September at the earliest. We're looking forward to the K7,
hopefully we'll be able to report on its progress towards the end of this week, as we've got
sources at two different tier-1 OEMs that just received their first "technology demonstration
examples"
of the K7 complete with a functional mainboard.

********************************************************

What is the difference bwtween the January K7 sampling promised by Jerry Vs "technology demonstration examples"

Does "technology demonstration examples" imply production of K7 is around the corner?

TIA

It's too bad Sharky is a little out of touch with the situation.
His inside information is about 50-50.
Besides that, if he'd change to black type on a white background instead of the white type on the black background, I'd be able to read his website. Which is pretty good overall. He's right about at least two OEMs sampling K7s.

<Click here for the full review, including some benchmarks which show the PII 450 being faster than the PIII 450.>

Must be that cache timing in the Pentium III being slower than a Pentium II.

The review was impressed that they were able to overclock the Pentium III 450 to 560 MHz with the regular OEM cooling. Makes me wonder if Intel can easily crank out 550 MHz parts, but doesn't really feel the need to until May.
