If the floating performance is truly the same as the Pentium III without a tweaked compiler the K7 may really be able to perform quite well(1.5X to 2.0X) with a specially compiled code. Keeping the execution units fed is key to the higher FPU performance and this requires compiler modification for the last level of tweak.

Elmer - RE: "Plus AMD's admission last week that the Kmart-7 won't be able to compete with Coppermine leaves it on the midrange desktop for Q3." Why should AMD say their unreleased processor is faster than another company's unreleased processor? Since Intel hasn't said anything about McKinley and the 21364, and using your sick interpretation, Intel has admitted McKinley won't be able to compete with the 21364.
