Intel Corp. and the Federal Trade
Commission are putting the finishing touches on their
cases in advance of a much-anticipated Feb. 23 hearing on
antitrust allegations against the chip maker. The trial
was delayed in October by mutual agreement to allow both
sides to collect more evidence, a process referred to as
third-party discovery. The heavy case load of James
Timony, the FTC administrative law judge overseeing the
case, also contributed to the delay. The trial originally
was to begin on Jan. 12.

An incompatibility between Windows 95
and Advanced Micro Devices K6-2 processors running at

posted on AMD's Web site, starting Windows 95 OSR2,
OSR2.1, or OSR2.5 on a computer with an AMD K6-2
processor running at 350-MHz or faster may result in one

Advanced Micro Devices allowed some of
the first sneak peeks at its new K7 processor and
motherboard design here at Comdex/Fall '98 this week. The
K7 uses a 200-MHz bus technology pioneered by the
high-end Alpha processor but fitted to be
"mechanically compatible" with Intel's Slot 1
CPU interface. Using this design, AMD officials said,
manufacturers can use parts already available on the
market to build K7 motherboards, though the new
motherboards won't be able to support Intel CPUs.

AMD is set to provide enterprises with a
genuine alternative to Intel in all categories of PCs.
The Californian chip maker's plan will help bring down
prices and spur competition across mobile, desktop and
server computing. At this week's Comdex, AMD detailed
its plans to build on recent successes in consumer PCs
with a push on the commercial and notebook sector. The
roadmap looks solid and represents perhaps a serious
challenge to Intel's near-monopoly of the space. Early in
1999, AMD plans to release Sharptooth, a successor to its
K6-2 processor aimed at the mainstream market which
should be particularly effective on Windows NT. Bolstered
by a 128KB L1 cache and 256KB L2 on-chip cache, the
400MHz chip outperformed a 450MHz Pentium II based on the
Winstone 98 benchmark in a show demonstration.
