Kash,

Hmmm, you make some good points in regards to die size, but then, if AMD was to double up the core they wouldn't necessarily need to do an absolute doubling of the die size would they? I am way out of my league here so I won't speculate other than to ask wouldn't there be other areas that they could cut out in a dual core scenario? Is there any logic that would be redundant and would not provide any benefit by having it's functionality duplicated? I guess that would increase integration complexity though since the dual core solution would no longer be just two cores but rather an integrated hybrid. Anyway like I said though I am way out of my league so I apologize for the preceding bulky message and very much thank you for your thoughts WRT the FPU and Mustang.

Thanks,

Epinephrine
