John,

Spitfire is the entry level Athlon, why should it use copper if it only has to run at 700 MHz? And BTW, its die size is smaller than the regular Spry Athy.

Wouldn't the smaller die size imply that it is from Dresden? I don't see how they get a smaller die size out of Austin, unless they have brought up a new process.

Then what is the Spitfarl's die size?
