There has been a few (Seen one and heard of at least one) benchmarks on the
K7. 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.
