steve - <ok, ok I think I got it. An aluminum .18 P3 will be announced October 25 as the "Coppermine". With more cache...> An Enhanced 256kb L2 Cache running at full processor speed. And yes, it has Aluminum interconnects, thank Goodness. <Same FPU?> Can't comment. <And a P3 label.> Yes. P3 is synonymous with the Katmai intsruction set, which Coppermine has. <So a P3, P3B, P3E and a P3 Coppermine.> A P3-EB is a Coppermine. E= Enhanced Cache. B=133 FSB. A P3-E is a Coppermine, running at 100MHz FSB. A P3-B is not a Coppermine. It is a .25 Katmai core w/ 133 FSB. All of the above comprise parts of the P3 family of products. <Oh, never mind. Thanks for trying.> There will be a presentation at Micro Design Resources' Microprocessor Forum on Tuesday on what Coppermine in reality is. If interested further, I would suggest reading the reports out of the Conference. Also, the K-8 is supposed to be unveiled at same conference, if you need such incentive to keep your interest :-). PB
