Did anyone else notice this from the Engineering Sample K7 Preview?

"AMD "Fester A3" 200MHz AGP 2X/4X Motherboard"

"The Northbridge consists of AMD's Irongate AGP4X, a consumer implementation that will be shipping with the K7. Currently the Irongate/AGP settings only allow for a transfer rate of 1x or 2x through the AGP bus. There is no selection for 4x AGP, even though Irongate supposedly has built-in support for it. This could be an video card autosensing function however."

Could this mean that AMD may possibly have an AGP 4X compliant chipset before Intel does?
