Petz,

Petz is shocked about 0.25um MMX being as large as 95 mm^2 vs. 0.25um K6 being 80 mm^2:

Please do not be shocked. The trade-off here is die size vs extra complexity (local interconnects). You tell me as a system engineer what you would rather optimize here! As we have already discovered, this local interconnects stuff has much less merit than bigger die size. Please list pros and cons if you care to discuss this issue further. Thank you.

John.
