Cirrus, <So Cumine+ may never get produced if Willy stays on track?>

"Willy." I like that. So now Intel has an upcoming desktop processor named after a whale, and the server version of that processor (Foster) named after an Australian beer.

As for Coppermine, I already said that the Coppermine design will last a long time. So even if "Willy" stays on track, that doesn't signal the death of Coppermine.

<So Cumine+ may never get produced if Willy stays on track? >

Think this way: Once Wilamette is ready, CuMine will be to Intel what K6s are to AMD. Nice low-end desktop CPU and mainstay laptop CPU.

<Mustang better be able to scale well! >

Actually, scaling issues apart (which I doubt will be that big), my concern has more to do with AMD sitting on its butt feeling good about Athlon .
