John, RE:"Speculation on K7 speeds. Perhaps what Jerry really said was that K7 would be released at 3 speeds 500 MHz or higher." I recall an AMD spokesman saying there would be NO 500 MHz K7.

Petz, Is 650 a possibility? According to our resident process expert, the AMD 0.25u process can not go past 450 MHz, and even that would require a level of expertise the company does not possess. I read on this thread that all the good process engineers left AMD a couple of years ago. Scumbria

Petz, Re: K7 speeds Jerry was quite specific, he did say 500/550/600. I suspect you will have > 600Mhz within 90 days of the release if Dresden ramps up and yields anything with Cu. Regards, Kash
