Combatsim (dat zich normaal gesproken bezig houdt met het reviewen van flightsims) heeft een interview met een ventje van AMD op de site geplaatst. Er staat best wel interessante info in, o.a. over multiprocessing (dat nu eindelijk mogelijk is met de K7):
Q: The K7 is the first AMD part that will allow configuration for SMP. Not only will this make it possible to build powerful servers, but gaming under WIN2000 with multithreaded apps will become appealing. Are there specific advantages to the K7 architecture over the PIII for symetrical multiprocessing?A: The big advantage is a direct connection between the CPU (or multiple CPUs) and the system bus. This means that in a MP configuration, each processor can access the system bus at full speed (200MHz) and they do not have to share access to the bus. The K7 bus is based on the EV6 bus created by Digital for its Alpha processors. The EV6 bus was designed for MP environments.
