SCUMbria - Re: " Compare the similarity of the 21264 and K7 architectures: "

Why don't you point out the FPU similarities that you can divine from these VERY HIGH LEVEL BLOCK DIAGRAMS OF THE ENTIRE CPUs ?

Dirk Meyer joined AMD in 1995 - 21264 Architectural definition didn't begin until mid to late 1995. That's why it didn't appear until late 1998.

So, how fast will the K7 FPU be - in quantitative terms?
