Re: "Kryotech has already demonstrated a 1GHz K7 system. Does that imply that K7 speeds are headed for the 800 Mhz range?" Maybe! But that also means that Intel is headed there before AMD cause they demo'd one well before AMD did. EP

re: "Kryotech has already demonstrated a 1GHz K7 system. Does that imply that K7 speeds are headed for the 800 Mhz range?" I would guess not, or, at least not as soon as you might hope. Remember the K-7 is the first of a new, to AMD, generation of "short tick" processors; which are designed more fundamentally for higher ultimate frequencies and may benefit to a greater extent than earlier designs from extraordinary cooling measures. I do, however, expect a Gigaherz K-7 in due course and without any extraordinary cooling measures. Sleep well iNTEL. Sleep well Craig Barrett. Regards, DARBES
