Chuck and All- RE: "Barring any surprises from Intel, Spitfire on Fab25 should be sufficient to keep up with CuMine."

Since we now know for sure that Cumine-128KB (Celeron) is just Cumine with half the cache disabled and that a Cumine-512KB is rumored to be coming out this year, what does everyone think about this - Cumine-128 is just a holding place for the low-end until Cumine-512 hits the market in volume later on this year at which time Intel stops disabling half the cache on Cumine-128 and bam, it becomes the current Cumine and takes over the low-end to compete with Spitfire. Intel says Willy will be low volumes this year so Cumine-512 may be the the only thing Intel has to compete with Athlon later this year. Another noteworthy thing is that according to Intel roadmaps on the web, Cascades (Cumine Xeon) will not come out in a 512KB version which leaves the hole for Cumine-512 to fill in.

This is a little far fetched but who knows what Intel has up its sleeves...
