kapkan - <Is this a dumb shrink Dixon or 6 metal .18u Coppermine?>

And the answer IZ..dumb shrink of .25um Dixon, and not a M6 Coppermine.

It's a dumb shrink.

Especially dumb, IMHO, because Intel hasn't managed to gain any incremental speed grade boost from going through the trouble.

It is an "optical" shrink of the 0.25 micron Dixon - so it has just 5 metal layers and NO SSE instructions.

It does have the on-chip 256K L2 cache.
