“Mustang” Paul, >There is no perceivable performance difference between AMD Athlon processors manufactured in Dresden (Fab 30) or Austin (Fab 25). Shows again that Intel was right in saying no appreciable difference from Cu until 0.13. Also from that Q & A: Enhanced version of AMD Athlon processor with reduced core size, lower power requirements, and up to 1MB of on-chip, performance-enhancing L2 cache memory. Manufactured on a 0.18 micron copper process technology. Multiple derivatives of the Mustang core are planned to address the requirements of the high-performance server/workstation, value/performance desktop and mobile markets. I wonder why just 1 MB? The big boys always use 2 MB cache Xeons for those TPC-C benchmark contests. I guess AMD is still cache-on-die-challenged. No high performance servers for them! Tony
