Re: "AMD has a processor that can run neck to neck with Intel's most powerful processor, and they will have a processor that will be more powerful than anything Intel offers for some time." Runs neck n neck if you only run 1 benchmark on a single processor desktop system and be sure to avoid FPU altogether. As for your K7 claims, I have been asking for someone to back that up for many months now but all I ever got were foils. The K7 has never been seen in public and furthermore AMD has never even shown a "Technology Demonstration Example" that could run at 1/2 the speed Intel has already shown in public. The K7 will remain behind Intel processors in performance for it's entire lifetime. EP
