Re: "IF the K7 lives up to its hype, AMD will have the highest performing Windows-compatible processor for at least 6 -9 months! That means Intel won't have ANYTHING to pit against it performance-wise. Imagine the damage (read - microprocessor share gains) that can be done, not to mention profits for a change." No hardly. IF the K7 lives up to AMD's hype it will beat what AMD expects Intel to have available. How does AMD know what Intel will have available? Could they be wrong? Has AMD ever made claims that didn't quite turn out to be true? What will the yields be like? Can AMD produce them at a profit? How do you know? Re: "Key phrase here - IF the K7 lives up to its hype." When has anything ever lived up to AMD's hype? EP
