Re: "Apparently Elmer is still "taking issue" on this subject" Good catch! My reasoning was sound (at the time). I will restate it in light of recent developments: If Intel planned to do a CeleronIII with the intention of producing many millions and having an extended lifespan, it would only make sense to redesign CuMine and remove half the cache to save silicon. If Intel didn't intend CeleronIII to have a significant lifespan and intended instead to replace it with a newer version with perhaps some other integrated components, then it might make sense to save the design resources and just disable half the CuMine cache for the CIII's limited lifespan. An issue that comes up is what happens if something should delay the CIII replacement? Of course this is just pure idle speculation on my part and I have no idea how it relates to Intel's actual product lines........ EP
