Firingsquad heeft update gepost van de k7 preview die ze twee dagen geleden publiceerden. Naast wat standaard geblaah over het feit dat je preview benchmarks niet moet vertrouwen hebben ze dit stukje over de 'versheid' van de K7 sample die ze getest hebben:
It has also been brought to our attention that there has been question as to how old the particular K7 that we looked at was, as some people (and websites) have speculated that it is a very old "debug" model. Quite frankly, it's not. While it is an "Engineering Sample" the K7 we have is a very recent build, and according to our sources, is as close to release as AMD will be able to accomplish by June. It is highly unlikely that any architectural changes will be made to the K7 from the one that we were able to see, if the timeline for its release is still being followed. We are talking about a product that is supposed to be released within a month's time!
