Elmer, re: <Betcha it's a K63 that's downbinned.> I don't think so. The article clearly indicates that "In the comparison to the K6-III is the K6-2+ therefore smaller and cheaper to manufacture. A further substantial cost reduction arises as a result of transferred to a 0,18æm-process ..." It would be still a smart move on the part of AMD even if the K6-2+ is down binned part from K63. I think there would be less than a 2% performance hit on K6-2+ from K6-3 with the reduced L2 cache. Goutama
