Tushar - Re: ". If Intel will provide P3@600 (at .25 instead of .18), why is this Coppermine slippage a big deal (other than maybe the .25 is more expensive to manufacture than .18)?"

1. It represents a design/process setback for Intel

2. A 0.18 micron Coppermine - with on-chip L2 cache of 256K running at full speed - is SMALLER than the 0.25 micron Pentium III WITHOUT on-chip L2 cache - so the Coppermine will be CHEAPER to produce

3. At the same clock speed, a Coppermine should outperform a Pentium III - due to the higher speed of the Coppermine L2 cache.

4. A Coppermine SLIP will most likely translate to a slip in the CAMINO/Rambus chip set/memory introduction.

Re: "Is there some place with a calendar with are "expected" speeds for K7 over the 6 months to a year along with the Intel expected offerings?"

See the AMD thread on SI for all their prognostications and prayers.
