I think the product had other problems as well. Lack of performance, or should I say lack of MHz. It was below regular Coppermine Well you're wrong and I know what I'm talking about, I played a role in that project. The performance was too good in many ways. The internal FSB was able to run at 200MHz and with the reduced latency it was a screamer. The FSB was intentionally lowered to keep it from encroaching on CuMine[my intrepratation]. The apparent lower MHz was a function of the market it was intended to serve. There was a 256K L2 ondie that was hobbled to 128K to keep the performance down[again my intrepretation]. We had units running at 1GHz. I remember specifically asking management in Haifa what they were going to do if the MTH didn't work (another product that I played a role in. I hope there isn't a pattern here). The response was basically "don't ask". EP
