Elmer - RE: "AMDites expect the on-die versions of Athlon to change things but you will be seeing larger L2s on CuMines very soon too but you didn't hear that from me."

Which do you expect to help more

* full speed, on die 256KB L2 cache that replaces 1/3 speed, off chip 512KB L2 cache

or

* an extra on die 256KB L2 cache that is in addition to an already full speed, high-bandwidth 256KB L2 cache (for a total of 512K)

???

I think the former will increase performance more which means I think Thunderbird will outperform Cumine-512KB.

If you are talking 1 and 2MB Cascades, which SITLL haven't come out yet, they don't even compete with the Athlon in the first place because of price.
