The one I saw was on an engineering sample, but it should be pretty much like the one shipped... This is taken from memory: The results was a bit suprising, the K7 did well, but didn't take such an edge at fpu-heavy benchmarks as I had expected. When that is said, the test enviornment was a bit restricted, and it was stressed that the results wasnt too accurate. Still, I found the results a bit odd, and I don't think they did the K7 full justice. Do anyone know the URL to the page I'm talking about? It was published a few weeks ago on one of these hardware/gamer-sites. Stein B.
