<it shows why K7 as currently envisioned has to attack the medium-high end server space> And so far, I have no reason to believe that a server version of the K7 will be released before Intel releases the powerful Cascades core (a.k.a. Pentium III Xeon w/ 1 MB of on-die L2 cache). If anything, AMD should be aiming for the high-end workstation market first, not servers, and try and work that Mustang-like floating-point engine into hefty-duty graphics applications. A K7 may have a better chance against Xeon in the workstation arena than in servers. This sort of strategy makes much, much more sense for AMD than kamikaze-ing server CPU prices. Of course, we all know that Jerry "Problems are behind us now" Sanders thinks with the same organs that President Clinton thinks with, so I guess we could all expect the unexpected. Tenchusatsu
