Kal Kan - Re: "You forgot to mention that on 0.18 the K7 die is 108 to Coppermine's 122. K7 will be ahead of Coppermine in MHz and it's not dependent on Rambus." Wrong AGAIN ! So Wrong ! The 0.25 micron Pentium /// is 122 sq. mm. The 0.18 micron Coppermine with 256K on-chip L2 cache ALREADY IS 109 sq. mm. Thus, the SLOWER 0.18 micron K7 WITHOUT ANY on-chip L2 cache - and running at 1/3 speed or 1/2 speed off-chip L2 cache - will not only be about the same size as Coppermine, but significantly slower due to the slower off-chip L2 cache. Sorry to be the one to bring REALITY to you, Kal Kan ! Paul
