Elmer, AMD has not made any specific claims about K7 performance. We have seen two wildly conflicting reports about actual K7 performance on performance web sites. Anyone who has ever developed a microprocessor knows that alpha performance can vary wildly depending on bios settings, what is turned on, what is functional, software, etc. I didn't believe the Winstone 43 number, and I don't believe that K7 FPU performance is only on par with PIII either.

I feel short changed. I have not yet summarized my outrageous K7 expections clearly enough By December 31, 1999 for the same CPU clock rate: Int FPU(P5 opt.) FPU(k7 opt.) Pentium III 100% 100% 100% K7 105% 110% 135% At Maximum clock rate available: Pentium III= 700 Mhz K7= 800 Mhz Int FPU(P5 opt.) FPU(k7 opt.) Pentium III 100% 100% 100% K7 119% 124% 149%
