Scumbria - Why doesn't AMD just say what the target release MHz is, a la an Intel Roadmap. Don't they know? This "500MHz now" thing is bogus. You can't buy a K7 now. Saying "the K7 is 500MHz now" is meaningless, unless that is what the release speed will be. Damn confusing. Nobody cares what the speed is "now". PB

Re: "Chip company AMD has posted a presentation it made at last week's Winhec conference which shows more details of the future of the K7. " More presentations, foils, hand waving, smoke and mirrors.. Too bad you can't even plug a presentation or foil into a non existent motherboard and generate vapor revenue. That may help offset your very very real red ink. Hey! but when did that matter? All you need to do is hurt Intel, right? Who cares about profits? That's for business type geeks. The K7 makes for great presentations and that's all that matters. No silicon but who cares? EP
