Barry, Re: "What will be the difference between a current PII and Mendocino, since it will have cache also ?"
Cache size. The second Celeron processor, Mendocino, available 2H98, will have up to 256K L2 cache resident on the processor, aka "on-die". By comparison, "full strength" PII's, when slot 2 is out, will have 512K to 2MB L2 cache sizes. I don't know what is available for slot 1 PII's right now. Also 512K mininum? See this Intel page for more info:

p.s., for those making "celery" jokes, if you look at the roadmap/targeted products for the different PII's, a little less than half way down the above URL'd page, you shouldn't be laughing much longer. Of course, fools (not you, Barry) can laugh at any and all the wrong times. |
