I fully agree. The original K7 was truly a microarchitectural wonder of it's time. I owned 24 of them (configured as two 12-node Beowulfs) and they were FPU monsters.

The K7 was to the K6 as the P4 was to the P3 in terms of just being a complete back-to-the-drawing-board architecture design.

Both the K8 and K10 have been evolutions of the K7 (from my perspective). AMD needs a revolutionary architecture again (bulldozer?), a K7 deja vu, to beat Intel again.

yeah i owned atleast 10 K7's socket A was the best, the glory days for AMD
