Adrian - Re:"The Deschutes with full speed L2 is not
for Slot 1, but for Slot 2. "

No - I think the full speed L2 cache will be available in both slot configurations.

Re: ". We don't even know what chipset will be used
with Slot 2 yet."

You don't know - but I do.

It's the 450 NX (Orion 2).

Now we both know.

Re: "is the stopgap chip until the Merced arrives. "

Get serious.

Intel will have the Deschutes, Mendocino (Deschutes + L2 cache on the CPU silicon), Katmai (Deschutes with 70 new MMX instructions) and Willamette - all in the IA-32 roadmap - separate from the Merced.

Re: "Until the K6+3D arrives with a full speed L2 cache."

We are all waiting. I'm sure AMD would love to crank that one out. If their 0.25 micron process tops out at 266/300 MHz, they may be in a world of hurt - independent of their inability to make their Kx's in high yield/volume.

AMD offers lots of promises. Eventually they need to ship results.
