But IMO, the real goal of the 512K L2 is to soak up extra fab capacity. Intel has a huge surplus of it, and if Intel can somehow force the mainstream .13u processor to be let's say 170 mm^2 rather than 100 mm^2, it will be a victory for Intel, since AMD's capacity will be capped, while Intel will get the rest of the market by default. That's what I would do. Are you saying that you think Intel is going to the larger L2 to force AMD to follow suit and thus further restrict AMD's fab capacity? EP
