Re: "But if this from the upcoming ISSCC is McKinley "At the IA-64 level, Intel bumps up by 1.5 times the frequency of its current 64-bit processor in a 1.2-GHz design that exploits 3.3 Mbytes of on-die cache, " there is no way that this will be on 0.18 micron. The cache alone would be 350mm^2 or so, the whole chip would exceed 500mm^2 (or at least get close). But the speed of 1.2GHz is in the range of where McKinley is supposed to be... "

That's McKinley all right - and the 3.3 MBytes of cache is correct.

Of course, the 0.13 micron/copper follow-on version of McKinley will contain "substantially more" cache.
