"Intel's next-generation chip (code-named Foster) appears to be even stronger than the K7. Boasting a new feature called a trace cache Foster will remove a step in the processing pipeline. In addition, Fosters' system bus boasts a throughput of 3.2 gigabytes/second, twice that of the K7's 1.6GB/sec. However, AMD's K7 is scheduled to ship in June of this year, while Foster won't see the light of day until 2000 or 2001. As a result, every power-hungry computer user has the K7 #1 on his wish list of goodies." K7 preview and positive mention of Foster: pcvelocity.com mb
