Charles,

IBM is putting 2 CPU's on a chip for multi-threading.

I guess Willamette will do the same.

Why do u see AMD can not do the same for dec 2000.

Clearly a dual Athlon with shared off chip cache could be a compelling solution.

And win 2K will support mutli-threading.

I think Athlon has pushed what a single x86 CPU can do close to its limits - except for integrated level 2 cache.

The next big step is surely multi-threading with dual cores on a chip.

Regards,

Kash

Chuck, it's apparent to me that you're "inside sources" at Intel isn't giving you the full picture, and rightly so.

Charles - <Without 0.13, Intel will be in deep trouble by Q3 of next year. >

I flatly disagree with this assessment, based upon all the factors that would be normally associated with assessing this type of situation. I am fairly well aware of what the map is at Intel along these lines, and "Deep Sh*t" isn't inserted on the Q3 portion of the Gant.
