Re: "The argument that they have a late model piece of silicon is worthless. One bad gate can make a CPU unstable. " Of course one bad gate can make it unstable, that's the point. Scumbria, what they said was: "the K7 we have is a very recent build, and according to our sources, is as close to release as AMD will be able to accomplish by June. " You keep digging deeper and deeper to come up with excuses for the embarrassing benchmarks, but if the claims of "the firing squad" are correct, what you see is what you get. Perhaps AMD should admit the K7 isn't ready for prime time and delay it a few months. Of course that will bring it headon with Coppermine but you shouldn't mind that because the K7 is "the fastest processor in the universe" right? EP
