Steve,

Spitfire will be an awesome chip.

I am sure it will be overclockable to close to 1Ghz.

And it will likely beat current AThlons on most benchmarks clock to clock.

It should be cheap to make.

The big questions are:

When??? for high volumes ..... mid year seems way too late for me - it gives Intel 3 month lead at low end.

Yields??? AMD has had problems yielding full on speed cache. In fact this may expalain the 64K/128K l2 cache rumors. They may have put 128K in but may disable half unless yields are excellent. They will likely play this close to their vest until they have significant yield data.

I have noticed a huge fall off in k6-2 systems when one walks around. Hopefully this means that huge volumes of spitfires are in process.

Spitfire is definately worth waiting for.

regards

Kash
