2 tho'ts on Mendocino:

1. the initial Slot 1 version is only a halfway step to Intel lowering costs -- sure, they save building the SRAM's and soldering them on the Slot 1 PCB (maybe $20), but then it costs $10 more because of bigger die size, and they still don't get rid of the Slot 1 costs of $17 to $18. The Slot1 Mendocino will disappear as soon as the PGA version is available.

2. the AMD "Sharptooth" will have twice the L2 cache of the Mendocino, higher clock speed off the bat, core CPU improvements speeding it up, no $17-$18 Slot 1 costs, smaller diesize than Mendocino and be available the next month.
