Re: "We know from the press release that there is at least 128k of L2 on the chip. " Kevin, I posted a link to AMD's press release and there was no mention of 128K L2 cache size. Perhaps you can point out where you see it when I can't? If you still can't find it there where you claim it to be, I will just consider this a careless mistake and in no way reflects on your character. If you do find it there where I couldn't find it, I know you will be just as forgiving in return. amd.com "AMD DEMONSTRATES 1.1GHz AMD ATHLON? PROCESSOR - AMD Athlon? Processor Built on Advanced Copper Technology Shatters GigaHertz (1000MHz) Barrier- SUNNYVALE, CA--February 7, 2000--AMD today demonstrated a 1.1 GHz(1100 MHz) version of the AMD Athlon? processor manufactured in its Fab 30 facility in Dresden, Germany. The demonstration featured the newest version of the AMD Athlon processor that integrates high-performance on-die Level 2 (L2) cache. The device is manufactured utilizing AMD's leading-edge HiP6L 0.18 micron process technology featuring copper interconnects. The demonstration required no special cooling techniques and was shown in conjunction with a presentation at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). "The demonstration of a 1.1GHz AMD Athlon processor manufactured in AMD's Dresden facility shows we are executing on our process technology and Dresden production roadmaps," said Larry Hollatz, group vice president of Computation Products at AMD. "We continue to aggressively advance the technologies that enable future AMD processors to deliver superior performance levels." AMD continues to expect first revenues from AMD Athlon family processors produced in Fab 30 utilizing its leading edge HiP6L 0.18 copper interconnect technology at the end of the second quarter of 2000. AMD Athlon? Processor Awards Around the World The AMD Athlon processor and AMD Athlon processor-based systems have received 35 awards from eight different countries spanning four continents.
