K7Nerd - Re: "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."

This implies that the L2 SRAM cache was a speed limiting factor.

Intel had already stated that 900 MHz SRAMs were already running on the 0.18 micron process - as part of the development cycle.
