Cringe - Re: "So what is it - a result of the Athlon's design or process differences, or a combination of both?"

AMD probably drew every transistor at - or near - minimium CDs - and hoped it would be fast as a bat out of money-losing-hell.

Intel was a lot more careful - fine tuning their transistor lay outs to achieve reasonable speed at reasonable power.

And Intel can apparently match AMD's speed at HALF AMD's power budget !

That's why PB's comments about much more head room with the Coppermine Core sounds believable.
