Ace's Hardware heeft het tweede deel gepost, waarin ze ons gewone stervelingen inwijden in de geheimen van de K7 (het eerste deel kan je daar overigens ook lezen).
3DNow! on the K7 has been enhanced slightly since the K6-2 and K6-III. For a matrix-times-vector transform loop, essential for all 3D graphics, the K6-2 was coming in around 20 clock cycles per vector to transform, and the K7 is at about 14. The P3 (with SSE optimizations) can get to about 18 cycles. The total maximum throughput will remain 4 operations per cycle, though, placing the K7-500's peak FP calculation rate at 2 gigaflops.
