RE: <Don't forget Willy has that fancy trace cache thingy, a 400MHz bus, and its chipset will use two channels of DRDRAM for up to 3.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. And Scumbria has basically said MHz should be easy for Willy>

Cirruslvr,

To be as clear as possible I have not been trying to say that Athlon will stomp Willamette. And I apologize if I have overstated my point in my zeal today. My point is merely that it is architecturally feasible for Athlon to remain competitive with Willamette long term. AMD may have to implement some of the bada$$ features that are going to be on Willamette or improve the Athlon in other ways in order to get to that point but in strict terms of architectural horsepower Athlon sounds like it has what it would take. Until today I had doubts about that. Anything further than that was overstatement born out of exhuberance and I apologize for getting carried away.

Thanks,

Epinephrine
