RE:"In order for the Duron to have a smaller die size than the K75 AMD must have done some reorganizing of the core because the Duron essentially has the same core plus an additional 64KB of integrated L2 cache. This confirms that the Duron and Thunderbird are much more than K75 cores with on-die L2 cache. AMD did quite a bit of optimization of the 0.18-micron layout with the two new cores. It is possible that AMD could have added another metal layer to the core much like Intel did with the Coppermine when they added a 6th metal layer" This also confirms that DURON iS NOT A THUNDERBIRD WITH DISABLED CACHE....like the Celeron II is to the Pentium III... I'm sue Elmer will be glad to know that! of course I told him this....already. jajajaja
