Doug,

37.5M transistors vs. Tbird 37M. So same die size, more or less.
We get: SSE (not SSE2), hardware prefetch, increased something or other table.
A bit faster clock/clock than Tbird, with 20% lower power consumption.

My first reaction is not bad, other than the slow rollout, and silly artificial segmentation. Since it is the same damn chip, AMD should just sell one version, and let people use it any way they want to. (Notebook, desktop, workstation, server, PowerNow enabled, disabled).
