Paul,

Likewise, the brain-dead journalists will be simply awestruck that the ThumperTurd contains an on-chip 256K L2 cache - and be completely unaware that the Coppermine has had the same on-chip L2 cache for over nine months already !

Actually, this isn't quite true. PIII has a 32K L1 and a 256K inclusive L2. This makes for an effective 256K cache system.

T-Bird has an 128K L1 and a 256K exclusive L2, which provides 384K of effective cache.

In other words, the T-Bird cache is effectively 50% larger than the Coppermine cache.
