<The Mobile Pentium ///, 500 MHz, will have ON-DIE 256K L2 cache - BECAUSE IT IS A COPPERMINE CHIP !> Firstly, the quote you give me credit for ain't my quote - apparently it is coming from Mr. Barret himself. Secondly, there you go again - showing the disconnect between your mouth and brain - the topic is bad yields at 600MHz.

Paul - Re: Mobile PIII 500 with 256kB L2 cache... Is it a CuMine? Does it have SSE? (or did they pull an SX and snip the cord?) I was under the impression that it was more of a Celeron... ;-) --fyodor

Well, are you going to tell us if your contacts confirm CPU News' story about the Coppermine problem being in the L2 Cache?

Re: "The Mobile Pentium ///, 500 MHz, will have ON-DIE 256K L2 cache - BECAUSE IT IS A COPPERMINE CHIP !" Are you SURE? Are you CONFIDENT it's not just a Dixon but on .18u (no extra metal layer, larger die size, "dumb shrink")? Even if it really IS a CuNEXTYEARmine, it doesn't change the fact that the desktop CuIN2000mine is DELAYED because Intel can't yield the on chip L2 at the highest speed grades (600 MHz+ on .18u). Doesn't say much for Intel's process technology, IMHO. Also doesn't make it look good for Intel's next generation of server chips. Kevin
