Cirrus, <But Spitfire may still be faster and marketing advantages like 200MHz bus and more on-chip cache.> K6-3 had similar marketing "advantages" over Celeron: - 100 MHz bus vs. Celeron's 66 MHz bus - Tri-level cache (64K L1, 256K L2, up to 2M L3) But neither of those "advantages" were enough to overcome K6-3's two glaring weaknesses: low MHz and weak FPU. For Spitfire, I think AMD would be better off stressing the latter (MHz and FPU) over the former (bus and cache). Tenchusatsu
