Here's another STUNNER !

AMD's 550 MHz K7 - a PURE 7'th GENERATION CPU - was only as fast as Intel's 550 MHz Pentium /// with the AGING P6 - 6'th Generation - core.

Whatever happened to all that blazing speed the K7 was supposed to have - and performance advantage over the Intel chips ?

Jim,

the unnamed 550MHz CPU...identical Winstone 99 score as Pentium III-550

Sounds right to me.

Jim - RE: "Here's a little stunner...."

The one thing to keep in mind is that Anand possibly has an alpha/non final K7 system.

An AMD employee at another site has speculated that Anand does indeed have a non-final system, just based on when Anand said the K7 performs as well as the PIII on business apps.

Let's see if we can get Anand to say whether or not he has a final system.
