Tench, thanks for your spin on the small 64K "L2" in Spitfire. Another reason that Elmer's "salvaging defective Athlons" explanation doesn't hold water, is that it would be very rare for a 256K or 512K L2 to only have 64K salvageable.

Finally, whatever AMD has to compete with the CuMine 128K has to have a very low cost of production, because they will probably be selling for $75.

BTW, did you read that the key design problem with the K6-3 was insufficient redundant SRAM columns? -- from JC's a couple weeks ago.
