Ted,

Spitfire's performance will be lower yet it will run at the same 900 MHz? I thought one of the major criteria of
performance was MHz? Has something changed?


Spitfire will have lower performance when compared to T_bird clock per clock owing to it's smaller L2 on-chip cache. It's performance clock-per-clock may equal if not surpass the current Athlons with off-chip L2 cache. Regarding Spitfire at 900MHZ - I'm not sure - it may come out in speeds 500 - 800MHz (Chuck, Cirruslvr - appreciate any comments on this?)
