"The mobile Pentium 4 will run at a faster speed - and have 512K L2 cache - so don't bet on any AtHWiper performance advantage."

Even if the 512k L2 cache compensates for the use of SDRAM or DDR instead of DRDRAM, unless Intel increases the size of the trace cache a 1.3GHz Athlon4 will likely run faster than a 1.7GHz Northwood for many benchmarks. But I guess we will see.

As far as the Tualatin, that is something that can be tested before too much longer. It will be interesting, is a 512k L2 cache better than hardware pre-fetch? I suspect that it really depends on the benchmark and the pre-fetch will win. But we will see...
