Kash, <My best guess for dresden/cu/new0.18 process will max out at maybe 1.2Ghz keeping power down rapidly> What do you base this on? Indications are that Dresden will start its life very close to 1G so what makes you think it will top-off at 1.2G? <Remember AMD AThlons currently use external Cache rams qhich are very power hungry - once they go on chip power gets reduced as well.> Yeah! I wonder how optimized these RAMs are today. AMD's focus today on those devices might be cost more than power. Once you move that on-die the story changes. Also, going on and off those pins can be pretty power consuming (two 64-bit data paths and associated control signals should be a pretty big power sink)
