Elmer, Larger on die L2 could eliminate any FP advantage the K7 may have. Won't the total L2 size on Coppermine be considerably smaller on than PIII? Scumbria

Elmer, < a Dixon PII processor with 256K on die L2 outperforms an equally clocked PII> <You are as clueless as ever.> I would strongly suggest to look at yourself first. The article compares the new "Mobile P-II" 256k cache processors to old MOBILE PENTIUM-II. All comparisons are RELATIVE ! On the whole Intel web there is NO COMPARISON between mobile and regular P-IIs. It is very suspicious that there is NO PEFORMANCE data on the mobile versions. If you prefer to think that the performance of mobile P-II is equal to regular power-hungry P-II, I am afraid you are sadly mistaken unless you could provide any absolute benchmark numbers for each above-mentioned processor in identical hardware environment. Good luck surfing.

Elmer - RE: "Larger on die L2 could eliminate any FP advantage the K7 may have." Were you day-dreaming when you wrote that?

Elmer, Re: comapring spec int and fp Intels mobiles use different hardware when comparing systems in these set ups. Can you tell us the improvement from going from a PIII to a Xeon in an identical system. That is likely to be more informative. That will likely tell us the upside on Coppermine performance. I would doubt that Coppermine with integrated 256K cache will exceed the performance of a Xeon with full speed 512 cache. Regards, Kash
