Kevin - RE: "This is why I am disappointed by the benchmarks. CoppOUTmine will be a seriosu competitor unless AMD can succeed in ramping Mhz ahead of Intel or bringing L2 cache on die in the near term." I guess we'll have to wait and see how the market views the real PIII vs. Athlon. "That being said, I'm confused about how Intel intends to segment CuIN2000mine from 512k to 1024k Xeon. I imagine it will outperform or perform comparably to both "high end" processors." The pricing chart here may help: firingsquad.com To spoil part of it for you, the 667MHzPIII Xeon w/256KB on chip L2 cache running on a 133MHz bus will cost $27 more than the 500MHz PIII Xeon w/512K cache running on the 100Mz bus. Go figure.
