Pravin,

Are you referring to this info on JC's

* 128KB L1
* 256KB on-die L2
* FC-PGA370 support
* Possible 266MT/s Socket A support
* 750MHz and up operation
* SSE support

I guess the question is how good the core itself will be, when and at what speeds will it be available, who will be manufacturing it, at what cost.

If the chip was available today, it would be a problem for AMD. If it becomes available in Q1 2001, there is not that much to worry about.

They'll have the benefits of Socket A, and the compatibility of SSE that Scumbria has been suggesting that AMD needs.

I think the loss of X-box hurt AMD. The only way to make up for the position of weakness 3DNow may face would be to achieve the 30% of microprocessor market.
