Hardware site Firing Squad has posted what it claims is a preliminary set of benchmarks for the up-and-coming K7. The site said that it had access to a pre-production model and while it wasn't able to benchmark it to its usual standards, it saw and felt enough of it to give it a reasonable spin, it claimed. Pictures of the modestly clad K7 (http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/k7550preview/page4.asp) can be found here. We'll ask our contacts at AMD Euro later today. The cartridge K7 FiringSquad looked at was a 550MHz module, the site says. ® See also Naked K7 found in downtown Las Vegas (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/1634.html) Those K7 pix from CeBIT 99 (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/3294.html)
