Muzo, <do you have any idea on how many transistors there are in Athlon and PIII> I don't think this really matters. AMD has used local interconnect for a long time now, even with their old 0.25u process and (I think) their even older 0.35u process. This has always given them a somewhat better transistor density than Intel, but the price AMD pays is lower yield. Why AMD's local interconnect technology should be considered an "advantage" all-of-a-sudden is beyond me, because AMD's use of the technology is nothing new. But since you asked, off the top of my head I think Pentium III (Coppermine) has 28 million transistors, and Athlon (Thunderbird) has 40 million transistors. Remember that Athlon has more cache than Coppermine (128K + 256K vs. 32K + 256K). That characteristic alone will give Athlon a higher transistor density than Coppermine. Tenchusatsu
