<< have you been keeping an open mind? >> Ten...since I am independent and not an Intel employee like you, maybe my mind is a little more "open" than yours. Besides the symmetric decoders, much larger L1 (jury's out on longer latency effect), and 200mhz point to point goodies you mentioned, we have: K7 -- demoed @ CeBit, starts at 600mhz (@.25u). PIII-- appears to top out at 550mhz (@.25u). K7 -- 9 issue super-pipeline (speed optimized) PIII-- 5 issue pipeline. K7 -- Pipelined FPU est. at ~1 GFLOP (@500mhz) PIII-- estimated ~.5 GFLOP (@500mhz). K7 -- up to 8mb L2 capability PIII-- up to 2mb K7 -- no privacy encroachment with cpu I.D. PIII-- yes cpu I.D. K7 Point-to-point will provide awesome multiprocessor capability. K7 EV6 bus design may be able to go to 400mhz. On paper, there is no contest here. What have I left out? regards, Dan
