Dan, you're getting confused here. You're right in saying that a server could be nothing more than a 486 w/ a PCI network card running Linux. But usually when people talk about Intel's dominance in x86 servers, they mean *enterprise servers*, which typically have 2-8 processors per box, not to mention features that support high RAS. <Now you tell me when Intel will have a server chip with a 16 way L2. (particularly on a server with many active processes, a higher set associativity can be more important than total cache size). Ever notice that the PIII's 32K 4-way L1 doesn't fare too badly against Athlon's 128K 2-way L1?> Dan, L1 cache associativity has little to do with the fact that Coppermine can keep up with Athlon. If that were the case, then the Katmai PIII would have done much better than it did against the original Athlon. As for the 16-way L2, funny how that's hardly helping Thunderbird, even against Coppermine's 8-way L2. Tenchusatsu
