Re: "Perhaps you haven't heard. AMD no longer manufactures Athlons without on-chip L2"

If that is the case then it may be significant as soon as they start selling them. So far they haven't.

Re: "You probably are aware that Intel is unable to manufacture Coppermines that test at temperature at 1GHz. As a result, they have selling overclocked chips with special cooling."

Another false statement. An overclocked device is one that is operated outside the manufacturers guaranteed specifications. Intel's GigaMine devices operate inside the manufacturers specifications by definition, so they can not be classified as overclocked unless someone is trying to misrepresent the facts. But you knew that already.

I find it interesting that AMD has notified customers to design their future cooling for 76 watts! For some reason you never mention Athlon's heat problems....
