Cirrus, <Its L1 data cache is 8 Kilobytes - the same size as the original Pentium's that came out in 1993! For comparison, the Athlon's L1 data cache is 64 KB and the PIII's is 16 KB.> L1 data cache may be small for a very good reason: high clock speeds. <It dissipates 52W (at 1.4GHz I assume...) vs. the 1.13GHz PIII's 35.5W vs. the 1.1GHz Athlon's 55.5W.> Yeah, the power consumption of Pentium 4 isn't trivial. This should get better once Northwood is released in the middle of 2001. <What's your defense for Intel not offering SMP with Willy?> You'll see ... <It is STUCK with DRDRAM initially. This could prove to be Willy's achilles heel.> RDRAM prices have really fallen as of late, perhaps due to the decrease in demand. I don't think the price of RDRAM is going to be much of an issue when Pentium 4 is released in initial low volumes. DRAM volumes become an even bigger concern once Northwood pushes Pentium 4 into high-volume space. That's when sole reliance on RDRAM won't cut it anymore. Tenchusatsu
