Yousef, Like I said earlier, Scumbria might be the only buyer for 450mhz K7's I've heard that the K7 design team is just now finishing up their clean room reverse engineering of the PIII microcode. After they get this issue worked out, they plan on quickly moving the operating frequency up over 300 MHz, although some members of the design team do not believe that 300 MHz is possible from the AMD fabs.

Yousef, RE:"Re: "K7 ... mass shipment will have to wait until Q4 99 ... It is also reported that K7 will start at 500 Mhz in June, and costs about 400-500 dollars each." This doesn't seem to match the HYPE on this thread, Cringe "... ---I'd say that this is probably true. The mass production won't start until Q4. There simply isn't enough FAB space a FAB 25. I'd be surprised if more than 50k K7s were shipped in June if they "get" shipped and say 500k in QTR 3. Just a questimate. I'm no process expert like you but that doesn't seem to help your accuracy so I'll take a guess. Jim
