Thanks for the link to the benchmarks, Scot. It seems that Katmai, even with its larger L1 cache, isn't providing a performance benefit for non-KNI-enabled applications, which should be just about everything that's out there right now. Intel was wise to keep very silent on its Katmai efforts, or else they would have caused people to put off their holiday purchases for a future processor that isn't going to do much for existing applications. The non-relevance of Katmai's larger L1 cache is pretty interesting to me. Does that mean that the oversized 128K L1 cache on the AMD K7 isn't going to show any benefits, either? Tenchusatsu
