Scumbria, <low latency CPU functions tend to limit clock speed. Is this the case with Coppermine?> I would like to see how the Floppermine fares on SPEC-2000, where memory requirements for data sets are no less than 512MB...

Re: "Unfortunately for Intel, low latency CPU functions tend to limit clock speed. Is this the case with Coppermine?" Yes you've been telling us that for quite some time now and it still hasn't proven true. EP

Scumbria, <The low latency L2 on Coppermine gives it a big advantage over Athlon. Unfortunately for Intel, low latency CPU functions tend to limit clock speed. Is this the case with Coppermine?> Good to hear from you! This CuMine L2 is fascinating. My thinking was that there are enough clocks there to not limit the clock speed. Looks like you feel otherwise. Why? You don't think 256k cache access can be pipelined properly for a nice speed ramp? Chuck
