All Here is another good one from the Yahoo thread: AMD Information by: Superstring_matrix 39409 of 39419 This is what AMD insiders have leaked: 1) AMD will release the benchmark on June 10 at the Microprocessor Dinner. 2) AMD will officially launch the K7 on Tuesday June 22. 3) K7 on the Firing Squad was a Rev. B and the shipping version is the Rev. C. Rev. C includes fixes on the K7 and the Irongate chipset. 4) K7 beats the PIII hand down on the FPU and integer benchmarking. 5) K7 yield is very very good. 6) AMD hits 900MHz K7 on 0.25um. 7) AMD will launch 500MHz, 550MHz, and 600MHz initially. They will release the 650MHz and 700MHz when Intel launches the PIII and 600MHz and 650MHz respectively. 8) 3 big K7 MB makers are Asus, Abit, and Gigabyte. 9) Intel is screwed. 10) Time to buy AMD. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: 06/02/1999 12:19 pm EDT as a reply to: Msg 39406 by Your_Shadow_Knows View Replies to this Message Go AMD Jens

Tench, Some via pc 133 banchmarks. Now how much faster can we expect the RDRAM to be: Overall performance boost seems to be in 10% rabge so it is quite significant. The source is the register: PC-133 wins the day in old Taipei The PC-133 memory standard espoused by ViA and non-Intel chipset company has received massive endorsement from Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers. And IBM is also likely to give its formal backing Monday next. That is likely to mean that even more pressure will be put on Intel to adopt the memory standard, as Direct Rambus fades into the distance. And IBM will hold a meeting in Vancouver, next Monday, to discuss how it also will provide support for PC-133 rather than Direct Rambus technology. The overwhelming majority of motherboard manufacturers exhibiting at Computex announced support for PC-133. And on ViA's stand, the company had a poster showing benchmarks comparing Apollo PC-133 to the Intel 440-BX chipset. ViA had tested Winston 99 against the BX, and had figures showing that its overall performance was 4.91 compared to the BX's 4.58. According to the ViA claim, the CPUmark32 was 1360, comparde to 1250 for the BX; the Biz Desk Winmark 99 was 2620 against 2110; while the 3D Winmark showed 668 rather than 650 for the BX chipset. These figures are likely to be hotly contested by Intel. ®
