PB, Re: If AMD executes to 1.4 GHz by mid next year, than I agree, Intel has a problem Didn't Jerry say that he expect K7 for 1GHz and up by end of 2001 ? I have asked that a few days back but no K7 supporters ever share their view about this. Gary

<<The WMT core is a year away which creates a window of opportunity for K7. When WMT goes into volume production, K7 will be on 0.18cu running at 1.4G at half the WMT's die size.> Do you have reference for these assertions? I personally don't believe Intel doesn't have a better response in the wings than the one you outline. If AMD executes to 1.4 GHz by mid next year, than I agree, Intel has a problem. I think this highly unlikely, however. > No reference. This is my worst case assumptions. <<I suspect that Intel could have had similar problems had they tried to push the p5 core to over 400 mz.> I personally doubt that there will be any problem ramping the the P6 (you said P5) core to above 400MHz, since it has easily ramped to 550MHz already on .25um. I have reason to believe it could easily hit =>1GHz on .18um.>> When I said P5 I meant it. I was comparing K6 to Pentium not Pentium II. I should have expressed myself more clearly.
