Scumbia.. Re<<<<<hmaly, Intel has guarded the corporate market space like a pit bull for a decade. I'm not inclined to believe that they have strayed from this fundamental operating principle ......>>>>>>>> Scumbia, I doubt Intel believes it is loosing presence in the business marketplace. And, if Intels hears that they are; Intel can simply declare the shortage over, and empty the warehouses and regain market share. AMD certainly cannot threaten Intel that much because AMD is running at capacity now' and doesn't have dual chipsets. When Willy gets here in force, then Intel can reclaim marketplace.

Scumbria, Kash, Kap and other chip designers' I got this from the article milo posted... RE:" As the Athlon's voltage increases, its core speed is increased, but the speed of its L2 cache does not keep up. In the Athlon/1 GHz, the L2 cache runs at one-third the processor's speed, or 333 MHz. By contrast, the Pentium III's onboard L2 cache runs at the full processor speed. "... My question is. How much more speed will the Thunderbird have when it puts the L2 on die? If you're not sure how much L2 on die, use 256k and 512k. Jim
