Someone on this thread was speculating if CuMine problems were to do with the added on-die 256K L2 - like the ones AMD saw with K6-3. Armin seems to be confirming this from a Barret talk. ******************** Now for the more CPU-related news. Barret wasn't really willing to speak about the competition with AMD. About the Competition with SUN: "Sure we want to make Scott McNealy's life as miserable as possible." So seems that this story didn't change ... :-) He was more clear about the Pentium III. Coppermine is - as we knew already - delayed. Therefore Intel will release a 'normal' Slot 1 Pentium III 600MHz based on a .25 micron technology. In September Intel will also release a mobile Pentium III 500MHz. The .18 Coppermine will now be released in November. The reason was the on-die 256kB L2 cache. Up to 500MHz there weren't too much problems, but above the fail-rate was still to high to release the chip. *********** More in cpusite.examedia.nl
