Ten, I assumed that the 21164 uses a small L1 cache that requires only a single cycle to access. I believe that the 21164 also uses a multi-cycle L1 cache. PII/III also uses a small L1 cache, compared to K6, MII or K7. That is probably why PIII is a couple of speed grades ahead of K6, and about 12 speed grades ahead of MII. Scumbria

Ten and Thread - Register reports product and chipset delays with k7 theregister.co.uk Posted 16/05/99 12:32pm by Mike Magee Taiwanese wire reports K7 chipset news A report on Taiwanese newswire Digitimes Friday last claimed that third party chipset report for the K7 is unlikely to be available until year end. According to the report, which we have been unable to confirm with AMD, the first batch of K7s will arrive next month worldwide, but product will not be widely available until Q4. Motherboard manufacturers in Taiwan are creating K7 mobos with 200MHz FSB, which will arrive in Q3 and use six layer design, with Irongate chipset report. ViA and SiS, however, are unlikely to be able to support the K7 until the end of the year, according to DigiTimes. Prices for the K7 will be around $400, according to the unconfirmed report. Staffers from The Register will once more attend the Computex trade fair in Taipei, in early June, and we're likely to get some hard facts then. ®
