Dan3 - <. I posted here some months ago speculation that the cache added to coppermine(that results in it being competitive with Athlon) may have been "borrowed" from the Willamette design. Which would mean that we've already seen a nice chunk of Willamette's performance improvement.> I would be extremely surprised if this were true. I think Willamette is a different animal. Will probably have to wait until technical details of Willamette are released before we know for sure. <but now you are pointing out that the coppermine cache doesn't make much sense as a match to the PIII core that it's been attached to> Dan, it does make sense. It provides 2X bandwidth over .25 Xeons, and 4X bandwidth over PIII Katmai's with 512 off chip. PB
