Elmer - RE: "The first obvious speculation is that this is a way to salvage otherwise unshippable die." It seems like the L2 being smaller than L1 has nothing to do with performance and EVERYTHING to do with trying to make Spitfire as cheap to make as possible or as you say to salvage otherwise unshippable die..

Elmer, The first obvious speculation is that this is a way to salvage otherwise unshipable die. Good try. You always look for a way to raise doubt pointing to some kind of problem or weakness in any AMD decision - don't you? ;o) Here is a good explanation from JC on this, and it makes pretty good sense - jc-news.com Regards, Goutama
