Re: "Elmer - you have always crowed about Intel ALWAYS offering SMP with P6 family processors and lambasted AMD for not offering SMP for the Athlon yet. What's your defense for Intel not offering SMP with Willy?"

What I have said is Intel has never shipped a chipset die that didn't support SMP. If this report is true, and I'm not sure it is, then it looks as though Intel has decided to differentiate their product line.

BTW I think there is something misleading about the description of Intel's L1 & L2 caches. I believe the trace cache would ordinarily be called L0 and what is being called L2 would normally be called L1. If these reports are correct then P4 has an off-die L2(L3). Is it possible that future versions of P4 will have 3 levels of on-die cache as the device moves to a .13u process and space allows? All speculation of course.
