Re: "Pretty good going from one generation to the next, don't you think?"

Let's see. We've seen the benchmarks showing 40+% FPU performance from PIII to Athlon. So I think "7th gen" is fine here, assuming the benchmarks are correct.

As fact as the integer (Business Winstone) performance, the 16% gain demonstrated by the PII there was all about L2 speed and had little to do with core architecture. I think you and I both will be shocked if Willamette shows a 16% gain over PIII.

Re: "Mendocino, 0.25u: $55 (PPGA-370, Celeron w/ 128K on-die L2 cache)"

If this is true there is NO WAY Intel is making money on those Celerons selling for $70 retail.
