Saturn V - Re: "It will most likely be Willamette. Reasons:

A. ISSSC stipulates that the papers presented should not describe designs which are already shipping commercially. This rules out the Coppermine design."

This is an excellent conclusion - you may be right.

Re: "B.It is unlikely that there will be another Pentium III design in this timeframe."

There WILL BE larger cache versions - 512 K, 1024/2048 KiloByte caches as Coppermines and/or Cascades.

Re: "C. Willamette should have taped out by now.The timing fits Willamette completely."

That is too optimistic, I believe. Tape out may not occur until around Christmas.
