Paul, RE:"The larger L2 cache of the Dixon (256 KiloBytes) will enable it to outperform an equivalently clocked Mendocino for those applications that require a larger code and/or data cache than the 128 KiloByte cache of the Mendocino." In other words the Dixon will eat the Pentium IIs lunch at equal clock speeds? Will be interesting to compare the K6-3 and the Dixon seeing as they will both have 256k L2 cache running at clockspeed. But Intel will not offer this chip for desktops? Intels flagship Pentium II runs at 450MHz. Looking at the roadmap it seems that this will be the top speed of any Intel chip will be 450 until the Katmai 500 is introduced. Since the PI-450 was indroduced on Aug 24th and seemed to be available prior to that, it sems that Intels top speed (450) won't scale up until the first qtr at best. That's at least 4-5 months. That's very suspicious. Any idea if the pentium II will be scaled over 500Mhz by year end?Hard for me to believe they will let AMD within a speed grade. Jim Something troubles me...
