Let's not forget that one of the editors of the Microprocessor Report stated that Intel was in the position of having to rely on AMD falling flat on its face with the K7. In a response, he went on to say that he had seen information on the K7 that the general public would not have seen. This bodes well for the architecture. Everyone is expecting them to fail on execution. This is priced into the stock. What if they come through? Not holding my breath, but a possibility. Pravin.

Re: "the AMD-K7 processor will be the highest-performance processor for Windows computing on the market in 1999" More backpeddling. NT is not considered the "Windows" computing market, so again AMD is not claiming the highend as they were before. AMD's position is now: 1) The K7 shouldn't be compared to Coppermine or Xeon 2) The K7 will not be the highend NT processor IF someone disagrees perhaps they can explain why AMD doesn't just say the K7 will be the fastest x86 in '99 PERIOD. They used to make that claim, they don't anymore. EP
