I will guess that the 256K L2 SRAM on Coppermine (in .18um groundrules) is around 20mm2 The cell size is probably about 5.5um2. That is enormous! An Intel Etox Flash cell @ .25um design rules is 0.38um^2 (12L), or 1/15 the size of the SRAM cell. May I ask how you came up with your numbers (just curious)? Based on a 5.5um^2 cell, 2MBytes or 16Mbits (on the Xeon) would take up 88 million um^2. There are 40 million um^2 on a 1/4" X 1/4" chip (which I believe is about standard for DRAM chips), so the memory area on a Xeon is twice the area of a DRAM chip. (Would you like some logic with that memory?) wily
