ted - <Why are you being so coy about this...I thought after the NDA expired you were free to disclose the thing about the cumine that will blow the Athlon out of the water!!>

See subsequent posts. I am released from NDA when discussing disclosed design enhancements on Coppermine.

I would only say that over the last few months, the overriding theme regarding Coppermine was that "it's basically a "Dixon" shrunk to .18. Well, my design friends tell me that this is not the case, and Coppermine's cache and memory enhancements are much more than "bolt-on", and should provide significant real world performance gains.

I am not a design guy, so I was hoping some architecture savvy thread members would kick off a discussion of the merits of these design features.
