Ten - Here's an article that discusses the Alpha 21264 and the "Tsunami" EV6 chipset. This may give some insight into what the K7 MB may look like if they want to share chipsets although this is clearly intended for the highend. 128K L1 + 4Meg L2. Note: 256 bit wide memory bus running at 83mhz fed by 4-way interleaved 100mhz SDRAM. Source synchronous clocks on a 83mhz bus have me scratching my head but I guess they are just defining something that will run fast enough to need them at some point in the future. Uses 3-11 chips depending on configuration. Not cheap. Where is that 200mhz bus everyone keeps talking about? Why just 83mhz? Surely 128 bits at 200mhz would be cheaper and faster than 256 bits at 83mhz. Where is that 700Mhz screaming core and the 200Mhz memory? Any thoughts?
