Cirruslvr, err! I was real lucky to find it back so quickly, It was posted on march 13 on Pensar System (www.pensarsys.com) I found it back on AMDzone (Bravo! for their search engine) . I past the principal of the interview here : Penstar Systems has a short interview with Drew Prairie , AMD PR guy, up. Here are a couple of choice nuggets: Drew was tight lipped on how much cache the Athlon "Thunderbird" will actually have, but it is most likely going to be 256 K. When pressed Drew did say that they expected the same kind of performance increase that on-die L2 gave to the K6-2 processor. This will most likely come out to be about a 20% to 30% increase in performance all the way around. When the Thunderbird does come out, it will thoroughly slap around the Intel Coppermine. Spitfire will totally replace the K75 core (current generation of .18 micron Athlon processors) and will be produced primarily at Austin's Fab 25. By June/July we will no longer be seeing any Athlon's with off-die, 1/2 speed cache. ----------- Well as we can read the words didn't come directly for Prairie's mouth but the deduction made by the author seems ok to me?!?
