Chuck, <Timna=Celeron+Whitney, not having SSE> My impression of Timna was that it does have SSE, since I'd imagine it'd be based off the Coppermine-128 core. I also suspect that the graphics engine will be an enhanced version of Whitney. For example, the graphics engine on the 810 chipset can only run at 100 MHz, while the graphics engine on Timna can run at full processor speed. How will this impact graphics performance? I don't know, but I think performance of Timna will be much better than performance of Celeron on 810. Tenchusatsu

Chuck - RE: "I am also hearing that Pinecrest is in serious disarray because of the PIII/CuMine scaling problems." Uhhh, Pinecrest? Is that CuMine w/512K L2 cache?

Charles R, Re: "If the rumors are true, things are looking up big-time for AMD - more than most people realize." Oh boy! Just when you AMD guys thought you had it made. Up comes Joshua and bound to crack the walls around AMD?s cash flow. Check out this article " Via to release cut-rate processor early next year" Get this from VIA chief executive Wen Chi Chen "Intel is like a giant. It is seven feet [tall]. AMD and National are six feet five," he said. "But the new metaphor is horse racing. Via is less than five feet. We are lighter. AMD and National are big and heavy." HEY Pal, can you hear them horns blowin? Check it out at: yahoo.cnet.com Herb
