Re: "If Anand and The Firing Squad had reported that the Kamikaze 7 was 1000x faster than a Pentium ///, you would be praising them with endless HOSANNAHs."

Yep, and you'd be telling us not to listen to a kid and his alien mutant blastng friends.

But strangely enough, you haven't answered Scumbria's question--do you believe that the FPU of the production version of the K7 will be outperformed by the K6-III?

Paul,

Maybe you have better data that you can "share" with us.

Since the K7 has not been released yet, there is no good data available. However, there appears to be plenty of bad data floating around, which is causing you considerable confusion.
