Cirruslvr,

<There is no guarantee the AThlon will still be a good chip w/o L2 cache. I am sure AMD looked at the possibility and Spitfire was drawn up soon after.>

Spitfire makes sense now that it could be positioned against CuMine. The question now becomes when will AMD have something to go against Timna. A K6 based SOC has been long rumored but it seems unlikely that can compete well on MHz terms in the H2 2000 and 2001 time frame.
