Tenchusatsu - Re: "the first silicon of Mendocino was so clean that Intel is using it to begin volume shipments."

Now where have I heard that before ?

As for Sharptooth, Intel has had fully functional Dixon Silicon (256 KByte L2 on-CPU cache - same as Sharptooth) for over a nonth now.
Intel was leaning to make this a Mobile Pentium II chip - to simplify the MMO modules - by eliminating the external L2 cache - and heat!

When AMD ships their Sharptooth (Next Year), they will have a bevy of competitive products from Intel to sell against. Intel's Katmai will be the leader, and Coppermine - a 0.18 Micron Katmai - won't be too far behind.
