Re: "Does "technology demonstration examples" imply production of K7"

The answer to this question is NO. It implies only that most/all of the bugs have been worked out of the design. It implies nothing about volume production at all. Yields may well be .01% and/or at unacceptable speed levels at this point (given AMD's history a likely supposition). Typically with an all new design there is a gap of at least 3-6 months between production samples and volume production.

RDM: <<This could be as soon as April 15 for pilot production the way I guess.>>

Now that the pilot production date can be roughly pined down, then when would be the PROPER time to release or announce K7?

Modeled on K6-III-400 -- when they have SOME product;

Or

Following K6-III 450 -- when they have A FEW product.
