Re: <Hotchips> Yes, the AMD Northbridge presentation must mean that they are working on drdram for K7. However, they are probably better hedged than Intel for any delays and have sdram chip set as their primary plan. Also notice the Sunday afternoon Tutorial: "Afternoon Tutorial: IA64 Chair: Ken Shoemaker Architecture Dr. Allan Knies, Intel Compiler Technology Dr. Jesse Fang, Intel"

Re: <Hotchips> Also, did you notice the Tuesday session on Instruciton Sets has this: "An Architecture for the New Millennium (Sun)" Now I wonder what that can be?

Milehigh - RE: "It would seem to be positive news for RMBS as the jury was still out on whether or not the K7 would support SDRAM or RDRAM...!?!?" Here is what an AMD guy said unofficially - "Initial K7 systems will be based on PC100 SDRAM, since this will be the only mass market technology available in June when the K7 is scheduled to launch. The memory market is currently in a bit of chaos, and since AMD is not driving the memory market, we will have to adapt to whatever memory technology emerges as the winner. We should have RDRAM support by the end of the year, and there may be support for PC133 and DDR-SDRAM." aceshardware.com When the K7 goes to RDRAM, it won't be a big deal for RAMBUS because K7 shipments won't be as large as Coppermine shipments.
