John, re:"...I [Petz] think it [Slot I] loses this advantage at 0.25 micron where cooling technology is not as important." John Wang: Now, where did you think about this? What you have thought is totally not true. I have read that the K6-300 in 0.25 micron process use less than 8 watts. The K6-233 in 0.35 micron uses 17w to 28.3w. That is better than a 2:1 reduction, depending on whether the 8w figure is tyical or maximum. Based on this, it should be possible to get the K6 to 400 or 450 MHz. As for Intel, they are planning a 300 MHz Deschutes notebook chip, which must have < 10w dissipation or it couldn't be a notebook chip. Since power consumption generally increases as the square of frequency, this means they could get to 424 MHz with < 20w dissipation. 20w is about the max for a Socket 7 design as far as "typical" power dissipation goes. Since the Deschutes max speed is 400 or 450, it doesn't appear they NEED Slot 1 to get there. Of course, perhaps Intel will not be successful getting the Deschutes 300 MHz notebook chip to work; then they can't get to 400 MHz without Slot 1 or an equivalent, heatwise. Petz
