RE:"The Joshua core is basically the MXI core, which is about 2 years old. It shared some common features with the M1/MII core, but the floating point unit was completely redesigned."... Unless it scales differently than a M-II it's still an M-II with a reworked FPU...to me anyway... OTOH, The P6 is at least 6 years old but it scales. Kumars statement about the Joshua being two years old seems a bit irrelevant, doesn't it? He should have said, Mhz sells and the Joshua won't scale enough to command a premium price. Then again, there is Samuel, the old Winchip which is supposed to scale high...which he didn't mention. Jim
