re: "How do you suppose AMD did that?"

Good design refinement maybe, while inteL is huffing and puffing to catch up.

By the way, word is, that AMD is paying all of their back bills (including electric) with inteL's lunch money.

Petz - Re: "If you look at the specs, the 700 MHz Athlon uses less current than the 650 MHz Athlon. How do you suppose AMD did that?"

By going to a FULL 0.18 micron process .

Hey - why does Intel's 733 MHz Coppermine dissipate only HALF the power of the 700 MHz AthWIPE ?

By the way - that's 24.5 watts - Worst Case - for the 733 MHz Floppermine and 50 WATTS for the 700 MHz AthWIPE ?

How do YOU explain this factor of TWO difference, Petz ?

Paul
