Bill, Yes, it is quite a close race, however from what I see and read the Athlon is superior to the P-III if cache is excluded. This is clear. So when AMD gets cache on the AThlon(full speed, I mean) then it will go ahead of the P-III. Athlon will get a much smaller boost out of the full speed L2 than Coppermine did. The reason is that Athlon already has a large L1 cache (128K.) PIII only has 32K of L1 cache, and needs a fast L2 much more than Athlon. Don't expect a huge jump in performance out of any future Athlon or PIII processors. Scumbria
