RE:"The chip will replace, over time, the K6-2 processor that is now the mainstay of AMD's value-desktop offering. AMD, in fact, canceled plans to offer a version of the forthcoming mobile K6-2+ chip for the desktop."

Good move by AMD...now let's see if they can get the spitfire out in a timely fashion. They must be ramping down the K6-2 and ramping up the Spitfire. K6-2+ is only needed for as a notebook chip.

Petz, JohnD, and others,

Spitfire alleged to have 128L2 on die cache.

How might this perform compared to the present Athlons with 512 off die L2?

I was thinking about waiting on Spitfire, or get the current Athlon cheap later. IE a 700 Athlon now or a 700 Spitfire later or a current 700 Athlon real cheap later.

TIA

steve
