From an interview with an Intel PR guy: (This first quote is for Paul's edification) Pentium(R) III processor on 0.18 micron process takes the basic Pentium(R) III processor with its SSE support (used in MS DirectX and many apps and games) and adds an on-die full speed 256bit-wide path 256K L2 Advanced Transfer Cache as well as increased number of buffers (Advanced System Buffering) which allow more information to get to the CPU faster. These improvements allow for an immediate 25% boost in performance clock to clock over the .25 micron Pentium III processor, as measured by CPUmark99. This is also humorous: As far as the Itanium processor, we feel that to truly take full advantage of 64 bit address ability and reliability, you need to start from the ground up. Putting "extensions" on IA-32 to get to 64 bits in the big iron world is like putting new tires on a Pinto, you still own a Pinto. voodooextreme.com Pravin
