Gary,

>1. The premature breakup of the design team.
What does that mean ? I thought it is still on going ?

All the turmoil at DEC caused a lot of key departures, most notable being Dirk Meyer, who is heading up the K7 design effort.


>2. A large L1 cache.
>3. Increased complexity.
Does K7 suffer from these ?

Since the K7 architect is also the most knowledgable person about the 21264, he should be able to avoid the speedpaths present in the 21264.
