RE:"Oh yeah, some not up to snuff Klamath (Pentium II code-name) chips got into the hands of some "benchmarkers", and came up looking slow vs., what, the K6 at the time? PII later proved those bm's to be just that (same initials)."... Yes indeed, that's what I was refering to. Tom got snookered, and he has a reputable page. So who knows who "AcermanPS (Singapore)" is? I guess we will have to wait for the real thing. FUnny thing is that everyone likes to blame Jerry for hyping the K7. All the hype just comes from people trying to figure out how fast the K7 will be. AMD says very little and is apparently trying to be a secretive as they can.
