Dan, <AMD's use of local interconnect makes it easier for them to fit big caches on chips. I think the wait is almost over.> Give me a break. AMD had local interconnect for a long time, yet the most cache they ever squeezed on the die is 256K. Intel is able to put 1.5M of cache on a PA-RISC chip at 0.25u. Intel is also able to put 2M of cache on a P3 Xeon. All this without local interconnect. <I don't think SUN is worried about AMD entering the server chip business, they might even partner with AMD.> Just like AMD was going to partner with IBM for external fab space. Just like AMD was going to partner with Motorola, but now gets rewarded with a lawsuit. Just like AMD was going to partner with Microsoft on XBox. Tenchusatsu
