Re: "What are the architectural differences between Coppermine and PIII? I thought Coppermine was a PIII built on 0.18. Is that incorrect?" From all reports Coppermine will be a PIII with 256K of on die L2 cache. There are hints of a 64K L1 but those are only rumors and not reliable. Furthermore, Coppermine will be completely re-layedout to take advantage of Intel's new 6 metal layer .18u process, so it's really more than just a shrink but what is called in the industry a compaction. Expect lower L2 latencies and a nice performance boost beyond what would be expected from frequency scaling alone. As for architectural changes, I haven't seen anything in the press. EP
