Pravin, Something else that bugged me was that the 0.13u version of Clawhammer would be less than 100 square mm. 99mm is less than 100, so is 50, but I get your point. If the 64-git overhead were really only 5%, it would be much smaller than that. They did say that Sledge had been designed with a long pipe to support frequency scaling. I'm beginning to wonder if they didn't go back and lengthen the pipe after Intel showed their hand with the P4. I guess the extra stages of the pipe take up space. If the same change was made to Athlon (extra stages), it would take space as well. So the 5% overhead may be related to a theoretical Athlon with extra stages. Joe
