AMD K7
It really looks like the K7 has the
capability to be a killer chip. Based on a .25 fabrication process, the K7 has to
prove its worth in the market. The plan at AMD is to deliver the K7 processor in a module
that is physically, but not electrically, interchangeable with Intel's Slot
1 Architecture. The K7 will run at clock speeds of 500MHz and 550MHz with a 200mhz
bus when it is introduced sometime in next year's second quarter, according to AMD's
roadmap. AMD has stated that the K7 will support Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP). If this
becomes a reality, the K7 will be the first non-Intel x86 chip that is able to use more
than one processor in a system.
