Tench - Re: But I get your point anyway. Still, if you look at logic alone (i.e. silicon that's not part of any cache), Athlon has 10M transistors, Pentium II/Celeron/Dixon has 4.5M, and Pentium III has 6M. (I'm assuming 3M transistors per 32K of L1 cache.)

Ok, using this data + that the P5 logic is 1.6M:

Pentium --> PIII: 275% increase in transistor count
PIII ---> Athlon: 67% increase...

As Scumbria would undoubtedly say:

Is 275% > 67%?
