Athwipe Engel...All that cache and Anand reports that the 1 GHz Coppermine beats the 1 GHz Thumpy in 13 out of 232 Benchmarks ! So you think 232 to 13 is some sort of victory. Your posts are about as worthless as the Pentium iii. I'd say I was glad to see you back, but I'd be lying. Ed P.

<I wonder if Intel will introduce their Coppermine with a 512K L2 cache?> Don't you think Intel should get to volume on 1GHz before doing anything else?

Paul, Anand reports that the 1 GHz Coppermine beats the 1 GHz Thumpy in 13 out of 23 Benchmarks ! Isn't it past his bedtime? His daddy should have read him a bedtime story and tucked him in hours ago. Scumbria

Paul, More indication that it is way past Anand's bedtime. Thanks to Bilow on the Rambus thread! A set associative cache divides the cache into various sections, referred to as sets, with each set containing a number of cache lines. With an 8-way set associative L2 cache, each set contains 8 cache lines, and in a 16-way set associative L2 cache, each set contains 16 cache lines. anandtech.com Pretty entertaining! Scumbria

Paul, Anand reports that the 1 GHz Coppermine beats the 1 GHz Thumpy in 13 out of 23 Benchmarks I don't think we should wake sleeping children up during the night, but: Clock for clock the Thunderbird is generally faster than the Pentium III on all of its official platforms (BX, 820, 133A) although in some cases the Thunderbird is edged out by the Pentium III on an 820 + RDRAM setup.... If you compare the Thunderbird on a KT133 motherboard to a Pentium III on a VIA 133A motherboard you can see that the Athlon holds a large advantage over the Pentium III.... there is no question that the Duron will end up dominating the low end market where Intel's Celeron has failed to perform as well as we expected. anandtech.com Scumbria
