Thread,

There is a blurb on Ace's from an AMD guy from Asia confirming that small quantity K7 shipments have begun. Production K7 parts sowing up at OEMs was aa good first step and now parts showing up in Taiwan indicates a bigger step. IMHO, this is significant - confirms the rumors about yields.

Good luck to y'all
Chuck

<Scumbria - re: I understand Paul's concerns about K7. Good architectural performance. Good MHz. Good yields. >

I think he is also terrified of the Rambus (IBM study and poor yields) story. Rabmus can be much bigger disaster than FDIV. Note how IBM plays a spoiler again. Remember IBM's FDIV study?
