Re: AMD should be very concerned about the flood of Coppermines that will eventually come, say, in Q2 and Q3 I would expect Intel (despite what has been said officially) to have volume Willamette by late Q3, and certainly by Q4. If not, AMD with Thunderbird will be looking down on the battle for the low end between Intel Coppermine and VIA CIII. Willamette is looking less impressive (at least what has been shown so far). Early speculation was 4 symmetric FPU pipes compared to Athlon's 3, now it looks like two FPU pipes, and they aren't symmetrical. The "double pumping" may mean that those 2 pipes can be considered double twin pipes under ideal circumstances, but it's looking more and more like Willamette will be pretty much comparable to Thunderbird. Plus, it looks like the Willamette L2 was used for Coppermine, as I had speculated - so, with coppermine, we've already seen about 1/4 of the difference between Willamette and PIII. azillionmonkeys.com Update: The on chip L2 cache is reportedly 256K. It appears as though it is identical to the Coppermine on-chip cache. Dan
