Kevin - Re: "How much power does the PIII suck up when you include the L2? There's the real comparison. "

That certainly is a fair question - which I will wait to answer until March 1 - when Intel releases the specs.

However - ASK YOURSEF THIS - How much does a K6-3 AND 1 or 2 MEGABYTES OF L3 CACHE dissipate ?

Remember - without that L3 cache, the K63 can't match an equivalently clocked Pentium II or Pentium III.

So - adding up K63 power + L3 cache power - I'll bet the Pentium III+Cache comes out LESS !
