Jim, all, I estimate size of Dixon even bigger, as large as 184 mm^2. I believe the Deshutes die was shrunk from 130 to 120 (saw this someplace), so the 128K cache on the Celeron takes 154-120=34 mm^2. Add another 30 to double the cache size (control circuitry doesn't double) and you get 184.

I also remember AMD claiming that the k6-3 was for the notebook market, but the two samples we've seen were in socket 7 packaging (Anandtech and Thresh firingsquad). Also, there was a somewhat ambiguaous statement in the CC about a 2nd quarter release of the notebook K6-3.

Although its not on their official roadmap, if Intel manages to get decent percentage yields on the big Dixon chip, and AMD is threatening their Pentium III/Pentium II market with the K6-3, they will make a desktop version.
