Kap - RE: "Check the latest from jc-news.com;

Thanks.

I had no idea chipsets were that large. Is this in just the case of the Athlon? I don't remember the size of the K6 on the .35 process, but it surely couldn't have been much larger, if larger at all, than the chipet which supports SDRAM, AGP 2X, and dual processors made on the .35 process which is 130mm2.

An interesting thing is thay the DDR SDRAM chipset which supports AGP 4X is 26mm2 larger than the RDRAM chipset which supports AGP 4X. Is this another one of the advantages of RDRAM?

Both those chipsets are larger than the K6-2, and one is actually larger than the K6-III!
