RE:"Even if Intel can scale Cumine to Athlon levels of 1GHz, Thunderbird should be able to outperform Cumine a good amount. Unless Cumine gets an extra 256K L2 cache, some other added features, or Camino "2" turns out to be magical, Intel will have to wait for Willy to regain a performance lead over Thunderbird, assuming Willy can really leap." Intel hasn't built a new core in 6 years. Even a revamped P6, the Flopper, was a tough launch. So how do you think the Willemena launch will be? <G>
