K7 release is tentatively scheduled for June 23

From an apparently AMD-sourced official-looking presentation on K7 at the following URL. (No idea of the veracity.)

Here are a couple of interesting quotes.

- One popular motherboard manufacturer has already stated plans to make a system board that would support eight-way multiprocessing capabilities designed for the K7 chip.

- The bus speed of the K7 has already been tested at up to 400Mhz and AMD believes it to be possible to get to 800Mhz. As ram chip technology advances AMD will be well positioned to take advantage of it.
