I have keen memories of how Coppermine was "just a Dixon", and much much bally-hooing over the .18 Dixon MHz, and how these were indicators of what was to come. Somebody showed me one of those (I think) "Dixon" CPUs in cross section. It appeared to be just a short .25um device plugged into .18um groundrules. I suspect they use the same channel length device that goes into a 600MHz PIII (physical poly would be small enough to fit into .18um groundrules) and then run it at say 1.5V vs 2.05V for PIII. Thus, big power reduction and maybe 33% performance hit down to 400MHz. So,if this is true, Dixon performance makes sense. THE WATSONYOUTH
