Pravin,

Re:<The real benefit will be in Microsoft burning the midnight oil to make sure that their compilers are optimized for Athlon>

I think that is a very good point. So if Microsoft was going to use the Athlon how much effort do you think that they would have already put into optimizing drivers? Do you think that chipset driver optimizations play at all into the Win98/NT performance disparity that Tom saw in the KX133?

Thanks,

Epinephrine

Pravin,

Re:"xblox design win"

I agree this is a BIG deal.

The real benefit will likely be that MSFT will probably support x64 extensions which AMD needs desperately together with better AThlon support.

Sounds like a win win even if AMD has to sell a few million/qtr at cost plus 10% or so.

regards,

Kash

Ps: this cache story on the whole k6-2+ and k6-3+ is VERY worrying IMHO.
