Equally interesting is Van's report on Banias.

Banias is essentially a Pentium III core fitted to a low-voltage 400 MHz Pentium 4 bus. Some architectural changes had to be made to the PIII core to accommodate a doubled 64-byte L2 line size.

The Level 2 cache size is 1MB. The cache was enlarged to, in part, reduce thermal density. Banias will be introduced on a 0.13-micron copper process next year. Certain Japanese mobile OEMs are expected to have working silicon shortly.

Initially, Banias will ship at 1.6 GHz and will consume roughly 24.5W. From a power consumption standpoint, this compares poorly with the shipping AMD (Thoroughbred) Mobile Athlon XP launched earlier this week, which may demand less than 20W at the same clock speed.

===================================<<<<<

Do you are any feel that Banias at 1.6 ghz with 1 mb of cache added to the PIII will outperform AMD's expected offerings at that time. Will a 1.6 ghz PIII with the improvement of a larger cache outperform a mobile Athlon at 1.6 ghz, and if so by how much. Tenchsutu promised us we would be surprised by Banias performance. Is this a good or bad surprise.
