Elmer RE: <a Pentium II-233 not counting its L2 cache draws 34% more AMPS than the K6.> (from my post) Considering who's posting this, it is almost certainly wrong. However, on the remote chance that you might have accidently posted something correct, how about a reference and also an explanation as to how they seperate the PII from the cache so as to make such a measurement. EP This is Intel's measurement, here's a quote from the manual on intel web site: PENTIUM r II PROCESSOR AT 233 MHz, 266 MHz AND 300 MHz Table 6. Pentium r II Processor Voltage and Current Specifications Symbol Min Typ Max Unit Notes VccCORE: VCC for processor core 2.80 V 2, 3, 15 VccL2: VCC for L2 cache 3.135 3.30 3.465 V 3 IccCORE (typ.) ICC for VccCORE 233 MHz 266 MHz 300 MHz:6.9 7.8 8.7 IccCORE (max.) ICC for VccCORE 233 MHz 266 MHz 300 MHz:11.8 12.7 14.2 IccL2 ICC for L2 cache (typ.,max.) 1.3 1.4 A ---------------------------------------- As you can see, the L2 cache uses a different supply voltage, VccL2 so its is easy to measure its current consumption (1.3 to 1.4 amps) Petz
