Scumbria, Kash, Kap and other chip designers' I got this from the article milo posted... RE:" As the Athlon's voltage increases, its core speed is increased, but the speed of its L2 cache does not keep up. In the Athlon/1 GHz, the L2 cache runs at one-third the processor's speed, or 333 MHz. By contrast, the Pentium III's onboard L2 cache runs at the full processor speed. "... My question is. How much more speed will the Thunderbird have when it puts the L2 on die? If you're not sure how much L2 on die, use 256k and 512k. Jim
