OGR heeft een preview gepost van de AMD K7. Da's numero #3421122. Eens kijken of ze nog schokkend nieuws te melden hebben...
It looks at a glance like AMD is all set to take the performance lead away from Intel in a commanding way when the K7 is released. Best of all, games are some of the applications that should benefit most from the changes the K7 brings. There are several caveats, though. AMD has had trouble delivering product on time in the past, and in high enough quantities to satisfy demand. It's also not known what price K7 chips will sell for, but AMD will not be trying to undercut the price of Pentium III chips of the same MHz rating as they have done with the K6 line. Without a price advantage, will OEMs choose AMD over the Intel juggernaut? AMD also must rely on third-party manufacturers to build the motherboards for the K7—will they have the features and price users want?
