Petz - Re: "If you look at the specs, the 700 MHz Athlon uses less current than the 650 MHz Athlon. How do you suppose AMD did that?"

By going to a FULL 0.18 micron process .

Hey - why does Intel's 733 MHz Coppermine dissipate only HALF the power of the 700 MHz AthWIPE ?

By the way - that's 24.5 watts - Worst Case - for the 733 MHz Floppermine and 50 WATTS for the 700 MHz AthWIPE ?

How do YOU explain this factor of TWO difference, Petz ?
