Re: "The Mobile Pentium ///, 500 MHz, will have ON-DIE 256K L2 cache - BECAUSE IT IS A COPPERMINE CHIP !"

Are you SURE? Are you CONFIDENT it's not just a Dixon but on .18u (no extra metal layer, larger die size, "dumb shrink")?

Even if it really IS a CuNEXTYEARmine, it doesn't change the fact that the desktop CuIN2000mine is DELAYED because Intel can't yield the on chip L2 at the highest speed grades (600 MHz+ on .18u). Doesn't say much for Intel's process technology, IMHO. Also doesn't make it look good for Intel's next generation of server chips.
