tejek, Couple of thoughts and welcome your and everybody elses comments: 1. Coppermine and Mhz ramp and benchmarks. I am taking the current rather poor cumine benchmarks with a grain of salt as obviously drivers can and do make a huge difference. However the most interesting item that is relevant is the overcloackability of cumine. its seems 800Mhz is the limit even with some additional cooling. One of my nightmares was Intel pulling out an 800-900Mhz surprise. It really look like 733/750 is pretty close to the limit for Intel. With imminent release by AMD of a 750 in 0.25 and also 0.18 micron devices on the way- sure looks good for AMD IMHO. 2. It seems that cumine has been tweaked to take advantage of RDRAM with its new advanced transfer cache architetcture. This may explain why Intel has been so anal in its RDRAM support to the exclusion of everything else. And the real benefits will show up with the new cascades which will have much bigger full speed L2 caches up to 1-2Mb on chip. Seems to me this explains why they have made all the Rambus/samsung/micron investments as they are betting their desktop/server CPU thrust on rambus. regards, Kash
