Joe,

I think Intel will try to force industry (AMD) to increase the die size. I think Intel will continue to increase L2 from 256K -> 512K -> 1MB. This
way, they will reduce AMD's capacity back down to some 25 to 30 million units, as AMD will be forced to follow.


Very interesting prediction. I hadn't thought of that. With the Athlon XP at 80 square mm in 0.13u, it seems that they are not following Northwood to a 512 KB L2 cache, but as you point out, they may be forced to follow suit.

Pravin.
