Ace's Hardware heeft een artikel met info over nieuwe CPU's die we dit jaar kunnen verwachten. De CPU waar iedereen met de hoogste verwachting naar uit zit te kijken is ongetwijfeld de K7 van AMD. Hier wat info:
AMD K7, why would you beg to get one?Because It will be the best performing x86 CPU in '99, integer and floating performance-wise. Unless SSE is, from the the launch of the PIII, highly supported by most games and 3D-applications, the K7 will be king of the x86 hill in '99.
This monster will combine a screaming triple issue FPU, deep buffers, aggressive out of order execution and three integer units. Make no mistake, a huge 128 KB L1-cache will boost your applications AND gaming performance quite a bit.
If you were at our Online hardware Conference with representatives of AMD, you will know that the K7 will start at nothing less then 600 mhz!
With a programmable L2-cache speed, you can probably (slightly) overclock the L2-cache too. The price will follow the PIII price, making it the CPU that offers the best bang for (a lot of) bucks.
