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

It's too bad I can't reveal transistor counts for Merced and Willamette!

RE: <I'm assuming 3M transistors per 32K of L1 cache.>

At 6 transistors per cell 32KB of cache has 6*8*32K=1.57M transistors in the array. Of course there are tags, cam, decode, etc but it'll never get you to 3M.
