Re: "Of course, I'll be the first to eat my words if the real K7 proves to be the speed demon that AMD is making it out to be." You'll have to stand in line behind me, but I don't think either one of us will be doing so. You forgot to mention Jerry's statement that the K7 will be introduced at 500 550 and 600 MHz, after previous statements that there won't be a 500 MHz K7. Furthermore the K7 is being downplayed to "fastest Windows processor" from the previous claim of "fastest x86 processor". EP

>> AnandTech also said Do you still listen to him after he pulled the childish prank so get more hits on his website? >>where there's enough smoke, there's bound to be a fire Is the hot PIII going to smoke and catch fire? >>I'll be the first to eat my words How about eating your hat? Probably taste better than your words. Maybe barbecue it a little on that fire. Richard

Re: "AMD has said time and time again that the K7 is a "seventh-generation" processor. That implies that the K7 can blow away any sixth-generation processor like the Pentium III." Remember the PII-233 wasn't much faster than the P55C-233. Kevin

RE:"AMD has said time and time again that the K7 is a "seventh-generation" processor. That implies that the K7 can blow away any sixth-generation processor like the Pentium III. They're even going as far as hinting that Intel will need Willamette in order to stay competitive"... ---- What are they going to say? That the K7 is the same generation as a K6? I haven't seen any benchmarks verifying your statement from AMD. Remember that when the Pentium 60-66 came out it was a next generation chip. I don't believe it was a whole lot faster than a 486-100 at the time. RE:"And Sharky Extreme has printed some rumors where OEM's considered the K7 performance to be disappointing."... Sharky says that the K7 will only debut at 500 MHz too. We'll see. Jim
