Lewinsky-Dan - Re: "AMD's use of local interconnect makes it easier for them to fit big caches on chips. "

Why is AMD's ThumperTurd 33% LARGER that Intel's Coppermine - 120 sq.mm vs. 90 sq. mm?

They both have 256K L2 cache, although the Thumpy has 128K L1 vs. 32K for the Coppermine.

Whatever advantage AMD had with local interconnect, Intel has surpassed them at the 0.18 micron level in density - WITHOUT the added complexity of local interconnect.
