Paul, In other words, The ThumperTurd gains NO SPEED ADVANTAGE over the standard Wipey - but adds 18 sq. mm. to the die size !!! One tidbit I picked up from Anand's writeup, based on his L2 cache description, is the startling fact that T-chicken still has a 64 bit L2 data path, vs. PIII's 256. Looks like AMD tried to make up for this by doing exclusivity between L1 and L2 (inclusive for Intel), and 16-way set associative in the L2 vs. 8-way for PIII. Anand's article explains these very well, I think. Sometimes, raw chip design and processing prowess, like being able to lay down 256 data lines to an L2, beat out flashy architecture and logic design. That is the case here I'm sure. anandtech.com Tony
