wbmw, Intel no doubt integrated the Northbridge to cut costs, and thus it made sense to market Timna as a sub-Celeron CPU. However, that doesn't mean they wouldn't proliferate it to other high performance segments if it were successful. If it made all those things, why not completely kill Celeron and replace it with Timna? Integration of Northbridge made sure that the chip would not be sold with Via chipset, and guaranteed that the southbrige would be sold as well. It would have be cheap for Intel to manufacture, yet, Intel could keep prices close to the sum of discrete components needed to compete with / replace Timna. Something doesn't add up here, don't you think? The roadmaps continued to show Celeron, which would have made no sense. Re: Banias One thing we can be sure about is the low power consumption, since that is more or less the reason for the chip's existence. I would tend to lean to the Piii based core, not a new micro-architecture. New micro-architecture would make more news, and time to market would not be what it seems like it will be. My guess is that it will have integrated DDR memory controller. Joe
