pompsander, k7 info. says next month. news.com excerpt: Meanwhile, AMD's stock has jumped recently on reports that production yields on the upcoming K7 processor appear to be slightly better than anticipated, according to a report from Ashok Kumar, semiconductor analyst for US Bancorp Piper Jaffray. AMD's stock, which last month dipped under $15, has been battered because of production glitches and financial losses at the company. In recent weeks, however, the stock has got a boost on word about the K7, and has recently traded around $20. The K7, due next month, is viewed as a pivotal product for the company. The chip's design has generally received positive reviews from analysts. On paper, the K7, which will come out at 500-MHz, 550-MHz, and 600-MHz, will deliver performance close to--and even better than--the Pentium III, depending on the application, according to various sources. Further, the K7's ability to run Windows NT and fit into multiprocessor servers could pave the way for AMD to grab a larger chunk of the business PC market.
