Saturn-VIII, <Once the die size becomes very small a shrink is typically not worth the effort.>

What??????? The effort will give AMD the MHZ they
desperately need to sell the chips.

<The higher MHZ on 0.18 for K-6 will not improve
performance since the CPU will become memory starved.>
One more theorist of performance. You equally can
apply this argument to any processor, P-III, Xeon,
K7, etc. Go tell Intel they do not need the CuLATERmine
with 600MHz: there will be a big laugh.
