68mm2 was for a plain K6 in .25. K6+ will still probably be less than 100mm2 even with the larger cache, pipelined FPU, 2nd MMX unit etc. A quite economical die size if .25 is working at all. But keep in mind, K6 was first shown in November 1996. It will enter stable mass production hopefully next quarter. K6+ will be shown for the first time next month. I don't think you should expect stable mass production in .25 micron until Q4 next year. Don't let optimism cloud your judgement. Look at the track record and act cautiously. AMD takes a year to get from first sample to mass production. My impression is that Deschutes doesn't include much in the way of new architectural features. I was under the impression that Katmai in the 2H is the first Intel chip to push beyond the P2 feature set. Your comments sound like you think Deschutes is more significant. What is your understanding?
