	EETimes.com - AMD lays out K7 competitor to Katmai
		AMD is developing its own core logic for the K7.
		In one difference from Intel, AMD's K7 will be supported by core logic from several major chip set vendors, all of which derive most of their revenues from K6-based systems.
		The K7 has two double-precision X87 data paths, which are fully pipelined, compared with one for the Pentium II which, Meyer said, is not fully pipelined for double precision.

	AMD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During this time, AMD attempted to embrace the perceived shift towards RISC with their own AMD 29K processor, and they attempted to diversify into graphics and audio devices as well as flash memory.
		AMD later produced the 80286, or 286, under the same arrangement, but then Intel cancelled the agreement in 1986, and refused to hand over technical details of the i386 part.
		AMD also adopted a model numbering system similar to a PR rating to supersede clock rate for differentiating their processors, which would supposedly project the clock rate relative performance of these new Athlons versus the earliest versions of the Athlon.

	MacKiDo/Hardware/K7
		AMD has come out with a new processor -- the K7 as it was known, or Athlon is the new marketing tongue twister.
		AMD has a history of sometimes missing on deliveries -- but it looks like they are hitting this one -- and this one is a killer.
		AMD also brought this processor in at very aggressive pricing (much lower than I thought) and they are going to push this processor into the mainstream quickly.

	Platform Benchmarking with RightMark Memory Analyzer Part 1: AMD K7/K8 Platforms
		This is a typical sign of the exclusive data cache architecture (and it is such in AMD K7/K8 CPUs), while the curves in case of the inclusive architecture have bends at the points that correspond to L1 and L2 (and L3) cache sizes.
		It's especially well seen in the AMD K7 architecture (the real L1-L2 bus bandwidth for reading and writing is 3.2 (6.4) bytes/clock), while in case of AMD K8 the L1-L2 bus efficiency in writing is a bit lower, and the real bus bandwidth makes 4.9 (9.8) bytes/clock.
		For AMD K7 the number of I-TLB entries used will be decreased to 15 in order not to exceed the bounds of L1 I-TLB (since one of its entries is concerned with addressing of the test code page).

	AMD K7 preview - The Processor Emporium (UK) (Page 1 of 3)
		AMD is set to release its all new 7th generation "x86" processor design, the K7.
		The reason AMD claims this is necessary is simply to house module based cache RAM (like the Pentium II) and also as a measure to achieve higher clock speeds.
		AMD claims that higher clock speeds can only be attained by moving to Slot based architechture, although Intel appears to disagree.

		AMD had a chance to show off it's new K7 processer at this years Comdex, and what was shown was a truly impressive processor, which will definitely help AMD to compete with Intel's future Katmai processors and beyond.
		AMD claims that the K7 is being engineered on-schedule, and the will be able to deliver the K7 in the first half of next year at clock speeds starting at 500MHz.
		AMD could unfortunately not quote me a price, however, speculative prices are floating on the net that are between $700 and $900, depending on the L2 cache options you choose.

		AMD claims that the K7 will be a competitor to Intel's Xeon and possibly Tanner but it will probably not give the Merced a fight.
		If we look at the information that we can find about K7 now so must I say that if I dont get that Intel Katmai processor in 1999 so will it probably be the AMD K7 that will have the honour to be in my computer.
		K7 systems, however, are likely to be cheaper due to AMD's tradition of pricing it's chips 25 per cent lower than comparative Intel offerings and this might be one of the things that will make the K7 popular.

	AMD hints at partnership with Digital \| CNET News.com
		AMD will also enhance the K6 by increasing the speed at which it talks to the rest of the computer, via the "system bus." At the moment, this bus operates at 66 MHz; the improved K6 bus will process at 100 MHz.
		In other developments, AMD is also expected to begin commercial shipments later this year of its first true mobile version of the K6, according to industry sources familiar with the development.
		However, AMD will have to demonstrate that it can produce chips in large numbers, that it will not be hampered by low manufacturing yields.

		The K7 was also designed to operate at speeds faster than 500MHz based on our.25-micron process technology, so we plan for the speeds to ramp nicely.
		We haven't gotten into the details of the initial K7 chipset, which will be an AMD product, but we plan to make sure the chipset can handle the requirements of the K7 and the K7 platform.
		The K7 looks to be one of the most promising processors of the year.

		AMD's claims are that the K7's algorithm achieves 95% prediction accuracy (similar to the K6.) Given the long pipelined architecture of the K7, using a very accurate predictor seems more necessary than it was on the K6.
		I think AMD knew they had to deliver on floating point or forever suffer the backlash of the raving lunatics that would be denied their Quake frame rate being pegged at the monitor's refresh rate.
		AMD has previously announced its intention to fabricate the K7 in a copper based process (which they gained from their strategic alliance with Motorola) in combination with a 0.18 micron technology.

	CRN Review - TCE Athlon System
		AMD leapfrogged Intel this time, skipping an entire CPU generation, and is going for broke with this blazingly fast chip.
		Aside from the AMD CPU, TCE's K7 system was identical to its Pentium III 600 system, but with the addition of one more cooling fan necessary to better meet the K7's cooling needs.
		The AMD K7 CPU looks very much like an Intel Pentium II or Pentium III, and it installs in a similar, though noncompatible slot--the motherboard is specific to K7 CPUs.

		AMD and U.S. OEM customers have provided help to the Taiwanese in the design of what is the first high-performance, non-Intel board in recent history.
		AMD's own Iron Gate chip set is now sampling, but third-party parts have yet to show up for OEMs to test-drive, said an R&D manager at a U.S PC maker.
		Also, the K7 alternative emerges as Intel is pressuring OEMs to build systems using the Direct Rambus memory architecture for the fourth quarter — traditionally the biggest selling quarter, thanks to both Christmas buyers and commercial IT managers expending their year-end budgets.

	AMD Says K7 Outperforms Intel's Xeon - Technology News by TechWeb
		Dirk Meyer, vice president of engineering for Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD, offered the first performance estimates for the final K7 silicon, though the tests were run by AMD and not a neutral third party.
		As expected, the K7 will be produced at 600 MHz at the launch; though Meyer did not elaborate further, AMD representatives have said previously 550-MHz and 500-MHz versions would also ship.
		Initially, the K7 will be supported only though chip sets from AMD itself, which has decided to concentrate solely upon designing single-processor chipsets for the chip's launch.

		AMD's 64-bit strategy is significantly different; AMD has always been focused on the current customer needs, not on the vision of the computing future 5 - 10 years from now and this is reflected in their 64-bit strategy.
		AMD will certainly have to migrate to organic packaging as clock speeds increase, but we have a feeling that the benefit of reduced current draw courtesy of SOI has enabled AMD to stick with a ceramic packaging where they couldn't otherwise.
		AMD's modeling system has been relatively successful from the standpoint that very few users seem to know (or care?) what clock speed their Athlon XPs are running at, and refer to their processors solely by model number.
