>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.< As I stated previously, AMD claimed 70mm2 for a 0.13-micron Palomino. Jerry's statement that they will have 315 die per wafer indicates that the die size of Barton, and possibly Thoroughbred, is closer to 80mm2. This extra 10mm2 is enough to accomodate an increase to 512KB L2 cache. What is important however, is not the amount of L2 cache and die size of Thoroughbred/Barton, but the amount of L2 cache and die size of Clawhammer. We already know that Clawhammer will have 512KB L2 cache and a die size of 105mm2.
