I don't really have a contrarian view, but I do have some mid-terms concerns with respect to AMDs upcoming mobile offerings. I seem to remember that Mustang was to have larger cache as we've seen recently, a la Xeon. But I don't recall it originally being a mobile solution. Considering the power consumption on the current Athlon, it seems to me that an awful lot of changes would have to be made to make the Athlon core suitable for portables. Am I missing something? I do like the idea of Spitfires being positioned against the full cache Coppermines, as it seems that is what is going to happen (hopefully the optimism surrounding a late April/May release isn't unfounded). But the laptop scene is concerns me. Bud
